Well, personally, I find Ted *far* more interesting than most of the other
folks in *.origins.  In fact, he's a big reason I still subscribe.  All
the rest of you folks are doing busy-work worrying about mere facts and
verifiability, while Ted gives us these absolutely delightful accounts
of...well, all sorts of stuff.  Yeah, I think he's totally wrong.  But
then so was Tolkein.  Doesn't mean he's not a lot of fun to read.

A.  Speak for yourself, thanx.
B.  So how'd you happen to catch Ted's article so's you could speak
    for the rest of us?
