And there I was about to express scorn at the comments from the cheap seats ... and it turned out to be the cheap seat. ;)

There's a famous case of this. John Lott, an actual academic in the US, publishes awful stuff supposedly proving how much better life would be if everybody had a gun in their pocket at all times. A former student of his named Mary Rosh started posting on discussion boards heaping praise on him as the best teacher she'd ever had, yada yada. You know what's coming.

Anyhow, can I take this opportunity (as long as we're all preaching to the converted as usual) to tout my collection of helpful posting tips?

Go to Trying to Find
In the box for "filter this board by surname", put POSTING TIPS
Enjoy

I've collected them from a lot of posts put on various boards so that once in a while we can bump them up on TTF and somebody might see them.

Reggie, I'll turn yours into a thread there too sometime soon, and include a couple of the useful urls you so shamefully didn't put in your thread here. ;)
