* It’s tricky to balance one’s fandom with objective analysis, and there were perhaps moments where I felt the salutations were somewhat over-the-top (again, maybe that’s an American thing…we’re more “sober” over here).

Word has reached me that some among our hobbyists are taking him to task for what one characterized his editorializing. I understand that as a legitimate literary criticism. But I simply can’t cast that critical an eye here. Especially because I tended to agree with him 99% of the time! Consider it a loss of objectivity on my part, I celebrate this stuff too easily. 🙂
