From a reader:

I love your work, Jonah, but I am a busy person. I don’t have time to wade through foolishness to reach the meat of your discussion nor do I have the time to read the first paragraph of your posts to see if it is worth my time. Please preface all popular culture/science fiction/time waster posts with the word “crap”. That way I won’t have to waste my time. No offense intended. It is strictly a practical matter.
