At least I'm getting a gentler reaction than Walter Perry used to get, though it may just be that I'm offering a milder line.

(For those who have forgotten Walter's talks or arrived after he had moved on, http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/05/29/perry.html is a good place to start.  For those who want deeper background on what is driving me to write these things now, see <http://www.amazon.com/dp/0199898073/> or <http://www.amazon.com/dp/0195032233/>.)

By the way, I saw Walter on my block of East 3rd St. yesterday.  He's feeling fine, he's working (though not in our field, not yet) and finding it quite satisfying.  I think he's turned the corner on his recent troubles.

 

(Before people ask, I can't answer questions about the where, when, or why of Walter's recent past.)
