Apparently, this guy also runs Coloroado's premiere <a href="http://sf-colorado.com/crosswords/" target="_blank">speculative fiction crossword site</a>. Whatever that is.<br /><br />JankyVision is a meticulously researched proprietary process, and our board of directors will not be cowed or cajoled into the "feel good" climate of linking to sites that one thinks would be interesting to one's readers.<br /><br />We mention Easily Discouraged Man as an admonition to any happy-go-lucky types out there who may think that giving us free and unsolicited publicity will not go swiftly and decisively reprimanded. We further warn you against going to Gary's irreverent and socially conscious <a href="http://roughsuspect.com/" target="_blank">T-Shirt Shoppe</a>, of which part of the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12328233621277058200noreply@blogger.com
