Nothing I now say can in any way match, or live up to, that (typically) excoriating incomparable jeremiad. None of us begrudge you needful downtime. The blunt force trauma of your livid black humour and cascading idea detonations shouldn't coexist with -- let along synch to -- the surgery of your arguments, the intricacy of your thinking trajectories & the unexpected lyrical undercurrents. I don't know how you do it but I'm fuckn grateful you do. No-one else does or could.

Well, ya gotta admit, it doesn't make much money, does it? And that seems to be the main criterion for inherent worth 'these days', because if we're all too busy trying to make money, that doesn't leave much time or energy for curiosity.
