This is probably one of those things I never should have brought up
in a place like this. It's not much of an excuse to can say is that
the person who reported this to me also is a (book) writer who is
used to such deals, but somehow managed to be appalled, -- so, I
dunno, I will talk to the guy and see what's up and/or shut up.

And as for you, Mr. Korten, remind me to give you your full share of
what I get when I see you next.
