| #7 I still remember his short, but thoughtful answer when I emailed him a question about something he wrote. (Can't remember what the subject was, but I was impressed that he took the time to clarify his point.) I miss USS Clueless....and if Mr DenBeste is reading this, I hope that he is feeling much better than he did a few years ago. |

| #6 An excellent and insightful piece by one of our best. I miss him still: even though he was a secular materialist, he was gravious enough to recognize the Deistic materialists, of which I count myself one. Seems to me the teleologist liberals he speaks of are actually lazy buddhists: they have bought into the buddhist idea that the world is an illusion generated by one's mind, but rather than engage in exercises to escape the illusion, they figure they can manipulate the illusion to make it more hospitable. |

| #5 Rule #2: no one should e-mail or post nit-picky criticisms of his posts. That (along with his health issues, I gather) drove him from serious blogging. |

| #4 There should be some sort of rule that Steven has to write something every other day at least. |

| #3 I miss USS Clueless and Belmont Club. Belmont Club is still working as part of Pajama Media but it feels different somehow. |

| #2 Steve Den Beste's "USS Clueless" site was one of my daily reads back in the day when he was writing regularly on current affairs. Glad to see he hasn't lost his touch. |
