I haven't read Tim's editorial response yet but what the hell? -- from what I understand, he's the only publisher who's even bothered to comment in print. What's with the ugly dogpile on the guy? Going strictly off his written words, Tim seems a straight shooter who says what he believes and who can fault that? I say kudos.

Save the ire, weigh up the balance of the published responses, if they ever materialize, and get the target's range before pulling the trigger.
