Thank you, Mr. Moriarty, sir!  I quite enjoy them, too...
Gee, it's good to know I'm not alone in liking Mr. Thompson's 
reviews.  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...  :-)
