Hi Dave Not sure what I have to do with this (other than to prefer having a rigid prick to being a rigid prick) but you seem to be calling us all confused weasels (watch out if we start foaming at the mouth...we might be rabid), including the author who's work we are considering. I figure (as it takes one to know one) that you must include yourself in this menagerie, but I am unsure what constructive criticism can come from such an observation. What I mean to say is, if this is really how you feel then what are you doing here besides wasting your very valuable time with a bunch of rabid weasels? And if you do not really feel this way but are simply passing the time by spouting inane drivel aimed at inflaming more shit-slinging, well then bully for you. Aren't you just above it all. I see you complaining but I don't see you offering any solutions. What's with that, grandpa? Just more of the same old, same old, I suppose... (Don't press the send button, Dan. Don't do it! Oh no... too late...)
