Secondly, I'm sorry you think simply making snotty and previously anonymous remarks can be classed as criticism; criticism has some substance to it. Acting as if a blogger Owes you a post when and how you like it falls into another category.

And, sadly, it isn't always obvious when this has happened. But if you weren't trolling, you would've noted that the link was fixed as soon as I was aware of the problem.<br /><br />So, since your current function seems to be to complain about matters that actually don't affect you in any vital way, our conversation might just be at an end.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-60686717732823700592014-11-01T16:10:23.374-04:002014-11-01T16:10:23.374-04:00Not at all, Ron...it's an interesting example ...Not at all, Ron...it's an interesting example of such a project, and features some major and interesting talent of the time...I wonder how many Benefit books have preceded it.
