Not sure if that's something I should be proud of.
But I'll take it, thanks.

De gustibus and all that, but I was amused by Editor In Chief's comment, and I respect Ryan's sensibilities. And I have to say, what most impressed me was the concision with which Lynne was able project moral superiority while alienating both Editor In Chief and Ryan. That was a fine piece of writing from which we can all learn.
