As of this minute, Vdare has generated five negative emails to me. (That’s a generous count: I’m counting two that may not have been generated by Vdare readers. I’m also counting one from a regular Vdare contributor.) Congratulations, guys: That’s a new record. Your influence is growing! My earlier NRO post has, meanwhile, generated seven positive emails.
