Also not cool is to be a patronizing prick. If I may sprinkle a bit of anti-troll powder: I liked your article and admire anyone who approaches his craft with that degree of thoughtfulness. There's relatively little flamewarism in this community overall, and you'd make a pretty good participant, so please feel welcome.
