A copy of this has already been posted directly to the guy, but on request,
here it is
for the rest of you.

I personally agree with you, but sometimes, somehow, through an extraordinary
bit of luck, someone writes an SI that becomes popular, well-liked, and
dare I
say it, even a classic. "Sauce" comes to mind, as does "Bubblegum Zone,"
(although I still wonder how many goats Bert had to offer up as sacrifice to
make THAT piece of schlock accepted) and a couple others. Mark me,
there'll be
a Slayers SI sometime soon that'll be considered a good piece of work.

Schlock? When you can prove that you can write something better than BGZ,
maybe *THEN*
the world will listen to you. As it stands, you sound an envious blowhard.
For now, I'll go back to 
reading one of the classics-- BGZ.

Baseless judgements only serve to show the true character of someone.
