which of your manuevers do you like best?

Dave Eggers is the editor of McSweeneys and the author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
This is a series of emails sent from Eggers to journalist David Kirkpatrick, and vice-versa. They concern Kirkpatrick's hatchet job of an article, written about the release of the paperback version of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. Though Eggers over-reacts slightly to the final piece (which appears in the New York Times), Kirkpatrick does pull a number of mean and unethical stunts.

AAAHHHH!!!
I have just snapped my neck.
Rather I was snapping it as I often do but this time it was more noisy and less pleasant.
911 Anyone?

Not long. Due to the "marvels" of technology, any new posts are quickly displayed in the active conversations thing on the left.
Hope the neck is feeling better.

Damn that technology.
