Wait wait wait.........you’re.......Cookie Monster??

I have no idea who you really are or what kind of book you’ve written, but just based on your brilliant posting history here, I want to wish you great success! Seriously.

Agreed in full. Thank you for saying perfectly what I’ve thought many times perusing articles here (thought not just ones written by Clayton Purdom). Obviously it’s not that I can’t deal with someone having a different opinion; that’s a big part of the fun of AVC this whole Internet thing. Discussion, debate etc.

Ha, thanks! Pattern Recognition is among my favorite novels, and my handle and I go back a ways (long story).

I drop that one pretty frequently, just did about three days ago in fact. Classic.
