Clearly you're read your fair share of his columns - and I guess after 5 years, it gets slightly trite to hear from about the mincy-fraidy cat punts. I think it's a great send up, complete with requisite snark - kudos to you. That being said, getting the kind of vitriol from the commenters on this site is a little over the top.
