Squeaking in just under the wire for this month's entry in the Plain Banter section of my website, I just posted an article titled "On Professional Courtesy." Probably not a very politically correct subject, but what the hell.

Plain Banter, by the way, is a collection of non-fiction articles on whatever subject I feel like ranting on at the moment. Most of them are a bit too long to post here on the blog, where shorter is probably better. I think I'll announce them here from now on, just to alert people who don't normally look at my website that something's changed. And the comments section of the blog gives you another way besides email to talk back back. But of course, you'll all agree with whatever I have to say.
