Correct punctuation would also make it easier for other commenters to read and critically think about your comment.

- franze 14y agoyes, it is a rant. a public rant in a forum where tim holds an account. i like reading his interviews and i have no quarrel with the points he makes, but: i'm saddend and also pissed of by the declining quality of the books with his name on the cover. if there is just a 0.0000001% chance that tim reads my comment and decides to read some of his books over christmas, then it was time well spent.
