In any case, it’s touched a nerve with some people — so I’m obviously not the only one with issues over this non-issue.

But whatever … I agree that it’s not the biggest deal in the world. Continued success with your A-List blog, Hugh…:)

It’s such a non-issue. A secret, hidden non-issue ;-)

I would add that my criticism of Steve is certainly more measured than yours of me here — and based on far greater familiarity with Steve’s work.

So I’m assuming you can see the irony in your criticism of my criticism.

But I could be wrong.

I think there’s only so much mileage to be had in writing “If I were an A-lister, this is how I’d behave differently” posts.

What’s more interesting are A-Listers who actually behave diffrently.

Personally, I suspect that anyone who would expend this kind of effort writing something called “A-Listers aren’t different from you and me” doesn’t actually quite believe it, and have secret, hidden issues of their own.

But I could be wrong.

Inevitable but clue-less. Luckily, I think we can also make it irrelevant. To adopt a phrase: just say no. Ignore it, don't worry about it and get on with it. At least that's my plan.
