That seems bad form, and I try to be scrupulous about expenses. People who post as "unknown" should be aware that I only rarely read "unknown" posts. This poster just got lucky.

While seconding the caption beneath the book cover pictured with the article: "I’m open to the idea it is intended for audiences far smarter than myself." Since I could barely make it through this comment, I think I'd fare pretty poorly with the tome. <br /><br />Unrelated to the above, I'm wondering, though.
