stupid, petulant , pompous article, written by one who’s website is done in the same “cloying” web style he decries.

A “web style” doesnt have “soul” but the website /community does! Add a community with real live people and you get all the ‘soul’ you want!

People have souls, inanimate objects (however animated) can not!
