Dear cranky,

Here's the issue: when someone allows a piece like the pick this week to be published, I don't consider him a "pro".

He's a proset, like I said.

I am not inclined to read further once I see something like this. I won't be reading anymore Skinner. My time is too precious, and I'll spend it on a Boland or a Pollitt, not on a Skinner.

If he were a pro, he'd have seen the folly of submitting it.

Angel
