I think you'll appreciate the first response in the "Letters" section - the one that starts off with "Wendell Berry provides writers enslaved by the
computer with a handy alternative: Wife - a
low-tech energy-saving device."
I'm sure she does, but that's beside the point. Why should we pay any attention to the opinions of a person on replacing something he doesn't use with something else he won't use. He may as well say that he won't buy a snowblower because his groundskeeper uses a shovel and does just fine.
I get your point, but good luck with that. Most (every?) influential figure had has something problematic about their person. If you can't see the good through the bad, then you will quickly find yourself with nothing.
It got a chuckle out of me, for sure.
