    Scott, I guess, since some spam comments were removed from this page.
    
    Commenting here feels sacrilegious, though. Like talking in a library.

God I have fallen deeply for this man, Hot Scalexander. I am thusly beginning at the beginning and reading each one of his essays. A very slow reader, I do not expect to catch up until approx 2028 +/- 2, and don’t have much hope for the world after then anyhow. But I do expect to be greatly enriched up to the day the internet blinks out and we begin anew.
