g - thnx for the feedback - always appreciated.

i know that i undermine my credibility when i rant about something so stupid - even with the "the following is one of those very speculative" disclaimer. i try not to indulge in this sort of thing too much - next time theres a 'mistake' which is pro-kerry i'll point that out too :-)

i will take the opportunity to say/repeat that in a world where 2000 pages of the taguba report went missing 'inadvertently', all inadvertent mistakes are worthy of a 2nd glance. and im pretty comfortable that of all the inadvertent mistakes i see, they nearly all fall the same way - i can guarantee that fauxnews has made an artform of it.

speaking of feedback - i sent an email asking for feedback a few weeks ago (email subject 'opt-in' i think) and g/mlh/pam all sent responses but then my folx turned up and my process got all screwy and i naughtily didnt get around to implementing any changes, and now my computer is packed away - can the 3 of u fwd me your responses again please? (my folx are still here for a few weeks so im still not in full swing)

im also sans cabletv - so im missing the fauxnews ugly mirror and the constant drone of mediamsgs so i prolly wont be as switched in to the brainwash dujour.

maybe thats how 43 got a c @ yale - by having clear handwriting... id love to hear him pronounce 'illegible'
