....of course he could be an unacknowledged genius, but I have to say that,
from the many years I spent working in bookstores (also an environment
attractive to the lonely, the estranged, the visionary, the outsider --
it's why they're such *great* places), I met more nuts than unacknowledged
geniuses. True, they are sometimes one and the same thing, but even
so....be careful: it's a jungle out there....
