I sometimes forget about The American Reporter (only because there is so
dang much around to read these days and I have a hard enough time keeping up
with e-mail), and then someone via this forum starts directly or indirectly
bashing it or some remark Joe has made which might be interpreted as
self-promotion and just for the heck of it I go back and check it out. This
cycle repeats itself over and over. Forget, bash, browse site, forget, bash,
browse site. The details of the bashing / spats are generally of no concern
to me whatsoever, though.  Absolutely of no concern. So much "of no concern"
in fact that it's scary. So much "of no concern" that they're almost of concern.
