@ Spenny: I used the same example from TD Infinity that I previously discussed with you because I thought others would benefit from it, and because I think that device so valuable to readers of competition stories. The example from Kenzen's story is likewise one that I previously discussed privately with him.

As for "Courtney and the Violin of Despair", I think you will find it tasteful. The vignettes are based on true stories, as I have noted elsewhere, and won't have the mean quality of the older stories (which is the whole point). For one thing, I don't hate Courtney, despite the TDA writers' best efforts.
