But then Ken is an idiot.

He'd seem to be an idiot to some of the readers that take him too
literally and are too annoyed to realize when he's writing with
tongue in cheek.
('t-i-c' henceforth..)

A few questions for Asaar:
1. At what point did you become aware that Rockwell wrote a lot of
stuff t-i-c? Immediately you first encountered him? After you were
shown that about-page disclaimer?
2. What exactly gave the game away? Would a newbie be likely to spot
this, and how?
3. What makes you think the quoted line is t-i-c?
4. Does this appear to you to be a serious review? If not, why not?
5. Are there ads for Nikon suppliers on that page?
6. Do you think he really has elephant phallus hide on his left-handed
Nikon?

Anyway, Scott was clearly writing tongue in cheek. Me too for that
matter. Didn't you notice, ASAAR? Yes, it's too easy to read our
writings and come away with things that we didn't actually say. But
then we're obviously not writing specifically for those such as you,
that have formed your own strong opinions...

(O;

So count me in - I too think Rockwell is an idiot. An irresponsible,
possibly even immoral one, given all the advertising he does - he
should know better.

"there are many deliberate gaffes, practical jokes and downright
foolish and made-up things lurking"
"the only thing I do guarantee is that there is plenty of stuff I
simply make up out of thin air"
- Ken Rockwell.
