Just read the DWJ obit and didn't notice the snide remarks...

Well..yes...

I'm probably being oversensitive based on previous experience from the Guardian, BBC and other media outlets of that ilk. I've read TTGTFL (only DW-J) book I've read and like it, but I thought that the spoofing was a) rather fond and b) referring to a very specific type of fantasy setting rather than all fantasy literature.

I'm not sure you have the right to be sensitive about language after using the word "retard" (twice!) in your previous post! -N
