I'm just thinking it's a wee while since we last took the piss out of
him, so I was pleased to find that on his website he saw fit to publish
a letter from a seemingly random person who loves him nearly as much as
he loves himself:

"David,  You continue to amaze! Your relentlessness is beyond admirable
and your writing/analysis continues to be honed to a jewel-fine point
with surgical precision.

Recent posts are exceptional, but after reading this one I was shaking,
my heart pounding in my chest and my face flushed with the outrage of
such injustice . I felt as if -I- had been the victim of a crime!

Good work, man. You are extremely important as a catalyst in Japan's
growth process, calling out the gross contradictions and injustices
while serving as a rallying point for the victimized and for those who
wish to join in the challenges you have taken on."

Oh, and on that case, I think it had too many holes in it, and was
barely one step away from sueing people for not sitting beside you on
the train!
