Well, here I find myself breaking one of my own aluminumclad, 'chiseled in mush' rules,
but then there's always a handy exception for doing so. I try to never, if ever, comment
more than once on any off-topic subject. Sort of like--- take my best shot and run like
blue blazes...but here goes...
The controversial Proud Tom website appears to be evolving, overnight- much like a
rusty Nantan.
Speaking of rusty Nantans, that subject and its solution are covered in the new "ASK
TOM" column in today's edition of the Proud Tom website. I am currently trying
the method that was proposed and am gradually seeing some impressive results on
my own pile of Nantan rust. I'm going to try the same treatment on some of my other
less than incredible specimens in my meteorite and meteorwrong piles.
I forecast a brilliant future for the "ASK TOM" column. It's interesting, newsy, and
topical. The very attributes that so many wish the list could return to. {; > ]
As for the etiquette of the Proud Tom page... questionable? Perhaps. But all in all-
no great harm, no great foul. I have the impression that all of the "targets" took the
literary pokes with grace and humility, a tribute to their intelligence and begrudging
sense of humor (with the possible exceptions of Mr. Cheatinsonufabytch and Ahmed's
half-brother Achmed, who was last heard from in the desert declaring a jihad.)
And as Steve (Chicago) Arnold has been heard to say many times..."This is absolutely
the last time I'll write about this!"
With the proverbial 'grain of salt',
