But of course you already knew that 🙂

Just an intro to Cecil. Ole wolf here. Semi- RED (sorta retired and extremely dangerous)

I think “Hunter S. Thompson without the drugs” is an excellent description of the best of Cecil’s writing style (going back four decades!), and quite a compliment.

The occasional failures to maintain that high bar are due to Li’l Ed’s misguided efforts at editing, naturally.
