    Let me start with Denton, who thinks he was so clever swinging his e-dick at me above.

    Denton: why don’t you go back and look at what I wrote before being a prick about it. I was reporting what others had said, and even referenced a written article. I said that I have no specialized knowledge in this field. You did well on Nvidia? Good for you – now don’t put words in my mouth.

  5. My post. Seems like it’s all the high-charters. The horn, the backup singers, the syncopated drum in “Healed” – yikes. But “And It Stoned Me” is my all-time fav so I’m partial.
