Worried about the competition?  :^)

It's funny.  Must be the "visual literacy" bullshit I hear so much
about, but my reaction to this site had nothing to do with how spiffy
the graphics were, but with the *obvious* fact that english was a second
language for whoever put the pages together.  As an old fart, I guess I'm
not hip enough to judge how rad the pictures were, but I certainly
recognize lousy writing when I see it.  Maybe not when I write it, but
that's another story...

Well, that's my off-topic rant for today.
