Hi kd. Not to burst a bubble of yours—but in the spirit of clarity—your post at The Corner contributed to the thoughts that I wrote in My Daily Bread. It wasn't a major influence, though.

Shadow, while at least one other commenter here seems to share your dim view of kd's post, I don't think any criticism of me personally was meant. Perhaps some of the speculation was a bit tactless, but that's hardly unusual in the type-before-brain-is-fully-engaged habit most have when it comes to commenting on blog posts or chatting in IMs or on forums.

However one might wish to interpret various words, I'd like to see the conversation stay on a civil plane, okay, both of you?
