re: Never read him

ER — 5/21/2006 3:06:46 AM (archived)

I'm really serious about Vance Packard, I did read several of his books in the early 60s and they did influence my thinking considerably. I was amazed any of you, much less Tech, were familiar with him.

I will not be insulted by anything you say, unless I feel I am deliberately being humiliated or insulted. I have pretty thick skin but I don't like bullies. I think you've already seen what it takes to really piss me off.

I only lurked a day or so before I started contributing.

Any more questions?
