Dan Foss! Welcome back. This should be a battle of the titans!
For those of you who have not been long denizens of the list, Dan Foss is
indeed a legendary figure. His rants were not only long and wandering -
but they were often deeply intelligent, showed an amazing degree of
erudition and an eclectic wandering through wide reaches of the
academicsphere.
Foss was sometimes annoying, and always verbose, but I learned something
from every rant. I was upset and concerned when I found out that the
person behind the persona was often in deep financial and medical shit.
I take back the remark about a battle of the titans. This is more like a
grumpy Olympian swatting an annoying gadfly.
Dann Foss, welcome back!
