I can now report having accomplished an online exchange with none other than the "cyberjerk" I've complained of before. Another of his harangues penetrated my filters. This time he made some valid points, plus a few errors I thought deserved pointing out. Didn't expect him to respond. Followed up with a perhaps charitable reply and am left to wonder whether he regarded this as satisfactory (not that that's important). He still has an attitude problem.

Having noted my obscure appearance on the local paper's front page, I've neglected to mention that I've cropped up visually on the Web too. In this case the photo's poor quality hides my ID, as does the rudimentary caption. Hey, I'm not complaining.
