** PRESS RELEASE **
What started out as a lame gag to promote my new web-site address kind of got out of hand. In retrospect I realized that a.) I wasn't privvy to all the details of the Rall/Hellman spat so I probably shouldn't be commenting, and b.) that it was probably none of my business in the first place, and c.) that quite possibly I'm an idiot. So I've apologized to both Rall and Hellman for sticking my nose into this. And now, hopefully, I'm exiting from this issue as awkardly as I entered it.
