did wagemann get spellcheck?

oh snap!

I only say that because I've noticed a general deference to their points of view as being somehow more worthy of evaluation than others'.

You will also notice that George Bush's point of view is more often discussed and evaluated than that of my Aunt Nina. This is not necessarily because George Bush's point of view is deemed better.

"Direct ILX search" shows countless searches with "Christgau"

I love the "punch me in the face right now" quality of the thread title / original post. It's like something I would write. Except I wouldn't.

There is a direct ILX search, btw. You go to Search and then click on "Direct ILX Search." While I was there, I discovered 27 threads (besides this one) with "Christgau" or "Xgau" in the title, and 10 with "DeRogatis" in the title.
