Favorite reviewer? Rwd, you don't seriously think that if such a thread wasn't to immediately descend into an utter bitchfest, that there would be any anything posted in response to it at all, do you? :-)
(This is part of why I admire Kal Rubinson for participating around here in any way.)
Asa, I grant you J-10's more endearing points, and have actually defended him to a degree in the forum before. (Although I am quite certain that Mr. Valin also is a lover of music, and however misguided I may be, I still do place a rather high value on writing style, if I am going to be reading something someone has written while paying for the privilege. Not to imply that Mr. Scull is exactly Steve Rochlin or anything...If someone had just taken his italics crutch away from him, I think he would have been quite enjoyable in limited doses.)
