| #7 I like Dave Barry myself. I believe he and other noteworthy columnists or thespians, etc. should stay around for as long as posssible - it seems to me that the more Networks there are, the more these personas should continue with their works instead of hanging it up after 7 years. Instead of hours or quarter-hours or minutes of ratings, the now-larger numbers of Networks are fighting for milliseconds and nanoseconds for ever-larger pools of personages, for which the blogosphere and any future successor(s) will only make it worse. If there was ever justification for the status quo and stereotyping, now is it. |

| #5 I was referring to Barry hanging it up. Who will I plagiarize now? Woe is me. |

| #3 oh come on, Fred! How can you, a master of humor, not love that line??? Perhaps it just comes too easy for you, for you to see it. |

| #1 Nooooooo! Say it ain't so. I love Dave Barry. I love this line: "A sense of humor is a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge." |
