Think about it this way.  Your commentary lit some fire directly
under those who value the Bailey works - it was negative
commentary that got our hackles up.

It's a psychological defense to protect the material one believes
in - because we believe in it, we want to think it is good.  Maybe
good to the last drop, whether it is or not.

Speaking of blasting (KABOOM!), it seems to be a way of life on
this list.  Sort of a way for people to exercise their cybermuscles,
occasionally.
