For me, jonkatz articles are entertainment, not news. Wood's article is entertaining as well. By this I mean that while I'm never going to bother to research or deconstruct a Katz article, seeing someone else do it rather well is a good read. (Rather more ad-hominem than I'd prefer, but readable nonetheless.) I'd like to see more features at slashdot, particularly presented in a point-counterpoint style. Katz vs. Wood in Gasbag Deathmatch 2000!
Oh, and one other thing. I've done volunteer work in adult literacy programs, where I learned that "functional illiteracy" means something specific, and it does NOT describe anybody like Rob. But what do you expect from another gasbag, anyway?;-)
