WHY does this bother people so?!? Is it just intolerance of another's opinions? Is it anger in having been "duped?" One of the above people stated, "...Fool me twice, shame on me." Certainly that is no reason to blame HIM! Now that you know the score, you can avoid his reviews. It's that simple. If it hurts when you read it, then, by golly, DON'T READ IT! Leave it for those of us who can enjoy a refreshingly different point of view. As for his actual existence, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Thompson is exactly one human being of that actual name -- that is, if he's the same guy I knew as a CS undergraduate at Rice who worked as Backpage Editor of the _Thresher_ (campus newspaper), and judging from his reviews, I'm pretty sure it is... :-) ============================================================================ David C.
