Actually, I'd more or less forgotten having done the article,
and then when I remembered having done it after your comment, took me a
while to remember what the heck I'd said. (This is why I'm a terrible
liar, and thus stick almost exclusively to the truth...I ain't smart
enough to be a very good liar.)

Anyway...thanks.

The question was one that I get a lot, and I finally decided to
redefine the question and attack it from my own perspective. I'm glad
it came out reasonably coherent.

And as for being a fan...yeah, that about covers it. This is a
show for fans, by fans. Which is why it works.
