I want you to know before you read these ramblings of mine that if you disagree, then fine, just don't flame me about it, cause if you do you won't be heard unless I have lots of extra time on my hands (har har, as if :P). ;) If you want to disagree through a polite e-mail though, I have no objections to that and will even reply if I have the time. If your points are valid I'll probably even address them here and add them to my ranting.

Also, I don't know why you would want to, but just in case, please do NOT copy my words and post them at other websites, be they your own sci-fi/fantasy site, or a message board, newsgroup, etc. Whether it be for online or offline use, I do not want you to copy my words; even if you intend on giving me proper credit, I do not wish you to do it. Instead, please direct people to WOOL - Wil Ohmsford On-Line. :P

The rants are posted in chronological order: the rants at the top of the list are the earliest ones, while the ones at the bottom are the newest, most recent. Therefore, whenever I add new rants, they'll be at the bottom. It isn't required that you read these rants in chronological order, but it is recommended. :)
