NODE 40b1fc3dDetweiler in CuD
Stanton McCandlish <mech@eff.org>Tue, 7 Dec 93 15:00:48 PST
Those of you following L. Detweiler's rants might wish to take a look at
the latest CuD. Pretty amazing stuff. He manages to slam Bruce
Sterling, the English language, Eric Hughes, Tim May, and even an EFF
board member (John Gilmore), all in ~200 lines which is short for L.D.
The most amazing part is the absence of ALL CAPS, though excruciatingly
manifested longwinded, pedantic, and redundant cypherwonkian adjectives
(like these) are present throughout.
Quite a sight, I tell ya.

The first two deserve slamming.
That's my first and only comment concerning the article in question.

Just do what I do - laugh at LD's posts. They're funny, they really are.
Even the 'shoot XXX in the head' death threat posts are pretty ludicrous.
I usually like to start my day by reading a post by LD - it gets me in a
good mood for the rest of the day... :)
