It's one of my favorite pieces of prose. When I'm feeling down, when I've written something that wasn't exactly warmly received, I pull out this article, grab a cigar, pour a brandy, and savor Mr. Smith's words of wisdom. I am instantly imbued with a feeling that as bad as I screwed up, at least I didn't write this gem.
My favorite line is "The Fresh Diet was just stolen by IVFH". Yeah. Like the thief who just stole the box of cat pooh I left on my doorstep for the thief who has been stealing my Amazon packages. I can read this every week of the year. It just gets better with age.
