    What I'd like to know is...

    Why we the readers should care about somebody like Eric Schaeffer? What small corner of the world does this interview illuminate besides the eerily twisted mind of some New York asshole?

    I admit to having read the whole thing, but only because I was kind of in a state of wonder at Why?

    Maybe if I had ever lived in New York I would understand. But do most Salon readers live in New York? Do Salon editors suppose that the New York dating scene - all those narcissistic twisted weirdos you you drag out and pick apart brick by brick - is really all that interesting to the rest of us? Dunno, maybe it's just me.

    The other comment I'd like to make is: Traister, you're a very sharp interviewer and an engaging writer. A whole lot of talent is going to waste on these ridiculous male vs. female topics you're always going on about. I don't know how great your shoe collection is, but you're way smarter than Carrie Bradshaw. You should get real.
