Holy moley. Why did that feel like reading one of the Unabomber's manifestos? In
between the pseudo-Peircean ranting and the scattershot righteous indignation -- and
Clay Valli's PhD was NOT from Gallaudet -- it was difficult to catch my breath.

It's almost refeshing to see that this sort of yellow-journalistic tour-de-force can still
happen. It's the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" of scholarship.

Awed,

Dan.
