i thought some about the most recent piece of 'evidence' i remembered about how poptimism presents itself to the world - your pitchfork columns - and so i went to look at them and realize that i read absolutely everything into them! good lord! i wonder how that happened. (incidentally it is a shame you had to change it from 'the sentimentalist', which seems far more apt a title.)

couldn't mark change his mind if you argue with him?
