    Indeed, when I was in high school we used to take turns being the "regular" columnist on some of the regular features and often just made up the "question" sent in by a "curious reader". I'm sure that a lot of people who've worked on publications have done this...it also has the advantage of being able to feed yourself your own straight lines so that you have an excuse to write a funny column or a rant...jolly good fun!

    It only takes about two minutes of random web surfing to stumble onto something that could be offensive. That's why I generally don't give sites like that a second thought. I've got many more tangible things to get up in arms about.

    As the great philosopher Bugs Bunny once said "What a maroon!"

    I'm sure if you asked Stile, he would say he's all for tolerance and diversity. Unless you disagree with him.

    It would appear that this columnist feels free to comment on many things and is often disagreed with. It also seems that our web browsers link to the most local paper that carries his column; people have commented that he is local to them from all corners of the continent.

    He is supposedly a "fashion expert". I have always thought that fashion was fleeting,...and only an idiot would chase something that is fleeting.

    I showed it to my wife and she agreed with it. "You shouldn't be wearing a kilt" she said in an email.

    Yes its rather ironic that someone so lacking in style should set up a webiste purporting himself as a "fashion expert".
