    @ PDA

    Despite whatever went down recently with his dispute with Glenn, for years he was, to me, a fucking Oracle at Delphi.

    Short timers, like kathriven, really don't have a grasp on the wealth of knowledge that our inestimable friend bestowed on us before he had his falling out with Glenn. Thank you for standing up for him.

    For the haters, a warning: the mind you fuck may be your own.

    People are always so quick to condemn that which they don't understand. The part about stretching their minds, experiences and knowledge just sort of gets left by the wayside......

    Sad.
