Don't sweat it Natasha.
Remember there is no such thing as bad publicity. ;)

Subject: Nanodot: Tripe - Blanderdash - Rubble
I just had a good laugh! I was searching the web and came across a short
Nanodot comment by a guy named Mark G... (can't remember his last
name). He was commenting on the LA Weekly article of several years ago. I
don't know if he or Samantha started the thread, but he certainly took the
LA Weekly's yellow-dog journalist seriously and assumed that I am poverty
stricken, hiding my age for fear the sky will fall in, and that my work is
worthless.
His short muck-a-muck criticism was even more full of factless than the
bloody rotten-toothed, pessamistic, down in the dumps journalist who had
interviewed me.
What is really funny is that this afternoon I replied to this Mark
Gsomething guy and told him I am not proverty sticken (I own a house and
drive a Benz), and am happy to be in my 50s (haven't lied about my age
since I was 2 pretending to be 5), and so on and so forth.
When I got a notice back from my message, it said "Coward." Haha! I'm not
listed on the Nanodot board so my name/address didn't register and it was
assumed I was a coward.
Talk about being hit in the fact twice on one website.
Psst ... Robert Bradbury tried to defend Max (he was the only person who
stood up to the Mark Gsomething). Where are the cowards?
Down with Nanodot! :-)
