Thank you, good points.
I did finally read the Admin page and died laughing. Reminds me of a joke I heard in Russia:

Americans sent their best superSpy to Moscow - he spoke Russian with no accent, drank Vodka by the gallon and kept chasing married women - perfect spy, right?

Wrong. He was busted on day 1. How come? He was a black guy.

On the other hand creating a home page might be an overkill for me since I am (a little bit of a public figure, have a personal website, blog, a few books, a few newspaper articles, and I make it a habit of being nuisance to the editors of several daily newspapers, etc. so why double up on the existing - but for the disbelievers I might be forced to do it one day soon - probably not today - got too busy in this answer or not answer quagmire.

Wow.

Two things.

First, you story about the black spy who got grabbed in Russia.

So? the Russians sent a spy here years ago. He was set up in a house, had a job and got busted within six months.

Why? Because he had a subscription to "National Geographic" and dutifully put them out with his trash each month...this is a thing NO true
American would ever do.

WE keep them. Either stacked in a pile in the garage, or we donate them to the library, or the school or the local hospital or Senior's home.

We never EVER just pitch them.

This guy did, and the folks they had watching his place tagged him on it.

Second:

All of your frothing about books and blogs and letters to newspaper editors and how you have "PHD" tacked to your screen name.

Iliya, you don't have to try so hard to impress us.

Frankly, it comes across as if you are trying to over-compensate for someething.

Relax.
