I remember after that we pretty much housed the guy, albeit in a
highly intelligent discourse. Then he came back with something lame
like "Well at least I got you people to think." It was pretty
pathetic.
He wrote this because someone wrote an open letter to Tamara asking
why the reviews were half-a-year old and maybe something along the
lines that your magazine sucks also. She flamed him, and then chaos
broke out on the list about this subject.
Then at some point after Mr. Roberts broke in with the unsightly
statement seen above, we all generally agreed that URB's review were
untimely and the issue seemed to quickly died after that.
