[William Gillespie]

Joe suggested we all write author statements that will pop up when the
reader moves their mouse over our portrait.

Here's mine:

...

"The evident irritation expressed with a concept of event which does not
measure up to its canons of evidence, the shock expreesed at a practice
whose interpretations refer to events which 'historically' may not have
happened....Imagine a practice of interpretation which prefers secondary
sources, and unreliable witnesses!"
(Mark Cousins, "The Practice of Historical Investigation;" as reprinted
in "Bad History," by Barrett Watten, the best newspoem ever written...)
