To all of this, I say nevermind, though, and I simply put up what we say to all trolls: Don’t like it, don’t spend time on it.

Fish, excellent work.

Also read the Times article. It really is an incestuous business, this web log freakshow. Just got here, so I have lots of catching up to do. Look forward to reading some of your "stuff."
