Yes - and I agree with that, it's a stupid thing to say, but I wish his
response would be directed at the author instead of 'power pop people',
I don't think the percentage of people that think that way is large
enough to make generalizations like that.  Stereotypes work both ways.
It's comments like - 'Guess what, folks!  They're not all subliterate
cretins!' - that bug me.  Other than that I have no problem.
