Thanks - I hadn't really heard or read Steyn, but now that I have he seems to be an ok fellow.
This was mild for Steyn. He is brilliant, and IMO superior to Malkin. He's exceptional at writing as a Briton or Canadian would in our press, but in a way that we can understand their systems better... and I am told he writes as an American with the same eye-opening clarity in the British and Canadian press.
