WHY does this bother people so?!? Is it just intolerance of another's opinions? Is it anger in having been "duped?" One of the above people stated, "...Fool me twice, shame on me." Certainly that is no reason to blame HIM! Now that you know the score, you can avoid his reviews. It's that simple. If it hurts when you read it, then, by golly, DON'T READ IT! Leave it for those of us who can enjoy a refreshingly different point of view. As for his actual existence, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Thompson is exactly one human being of that actual name -- that is, if he's the same guy I knew as a CS undergraduate at Rice who worked as Backpage Editor of the _Thresher_ (campus newspaper), and judging from his reviews, I'm pretty sure it is... :-) ============================================================================ David C.

I'm not going to restate all the conflicting opinions, just restate my own.
I thoroughly enjoy KT's reviews, and hope that he keeps them coming. If
you are one of the fuddy-duddies (sp??) who doesn't like them, there's a
special key on your keyboard just for you... it's located between B and M,
and just below H and J. USE IT!!!!!!!!
I might suggest the Kelvin consider moving or (dare I say it?) cross-posting
to net.bizarre, where he would be much better received.

P.S. Moriarty: Ken Arndt still posts to flame about once a week.
