Of course now I've read Ms. Vining's "refinement" of her statements.
Please take all vitriol in the last post with the USRDA of NaCl.

        And in the future, Ms. Vining, you may want to consider prefacing a
statement like: 

        "Comic stores are usually disgusting.  I know there is no way I am
going to be able to sell my products in conventional gaming stores because I
know my target audience will never set foot into them."

        with the appropriate warning like: ALL USE OF THE PRESENT TENSE IN
THIS POST DEALS WITH _PAST_ FEELINGS AND PERCEPTIONS.  PLEASE ADJUST
TENSE-SENSORS ACCORDINGLY.

        The word "are" means you think comic stores are gross "now".  To
denote a feeling no longer felt, you probably want something more like:
Comic stores "used" to be disgusting.  Or the even more personally-oriented
"I used to find comic stores disgusting."

        This grammatical lesson brought to you by the Ketchup Council.
