Some of you (thanks Mom and Dad) have written in to say that I'm not as bad as I make myself out to be (see ambitiously lazy article below). I appreciate the spirited defense of me from my own attacks. The logical thing would be to procure a strait jacket.

I would like to point out that articles like the one on name dropping contain what is often referred to as "self deprecating humor." I often indulge in such humor (great material availability).

Thank you for allowing me to clarify the vicious attacks upon this blogs owner. Together, we can build a better blog.
