And here I thought I was the only one who beat-off to those articles/postings?! Anyway, I sure hope you 1. Keep writing and 2. never get pissed-off at me. You are a hero of mine! Umair Hague was the first guy writing here who pulled me in with his incredibly depressing anti-empire bullshit, which I loved and love. But I have a big heart and a wide, albeit it oddly stymied mind and have plenty of room for both of you guys in my range of joy and appreciation.

PS I mostly “log on” to post my own shit and only read others when the titles are catchy or I have somehow stumbled onto their work and loved it (like you/yerz). I don’t need new friends much, and I prefer to see my own shit crawling out and finding a few good readers. I’ve been banging away at this shit since I was 17 years old (I’ll be 73 Dec. 15).
