I ran across the following in one of those narcissistic moments I had when I decided to submit my own name to a search engine. (And don’t pretend you don’t have those moments, either. You’re probably the same person who was too good to suck Jell-O through a straw in grade school, too… right? Oh, maybe it is just me after all….) I am not making this up, and no, I do not know the guy who wrote this:

Which I’m sure he would.

I find it quite flattering that someone actually (a) read my anagrams page (now long since defunct — I’m not even sure I have the original HTML anymore), (b) liked it, and © cared about it enough to write a review on it — kind or otherwise!
I also like having TechnoSmart ™ Quality…whatever that is.
