I don't presently have a Blog, but that will change as time passes, I assure you. I've done more than a bit of writing that required a high degree of accuracy and fact checking waaaay beyond the "two source" code. The beauty of blogging is that it doesn't necessarily require all that nonsense. If you don't like my "facts", present your own especially if you are personally offended. If you elect not to do so - at least not here, for further discussion - then move along. The planet will continue to turn , maybe.
