My little brother, in the press

Besides the shoe baton, I also woke up to an SMS from Ondine, telling me that my brother's got a letter published in the Nation-Builder Press today. This was followed throughout the day by five more SMSes from assorted colleagues, ex-colleagues and one student to ask if I was related to the letter-writer.

I guess it's not that hard to figure out when our last name is one-of-a-kind and our full names are almost identical except for two alphabets. One person even asked if it was in fact my letter with a typo in the name. I wish I could take credit for it, but no, no, my little brother did it all on his own, and did a very fine job of it, I might add. At first I thought that the tone was too measured, too precisely what a "typical" forum letter would sound like. But now I think that's how it works its magic: adopt the tone of the Nation-Builder Press, play its game and shoot it down point by point.

Bravo!

(Although I guess this means that my offline alter ego is in danger of being busted.)
