    I don't quite get the blogs on tape thing. I find it much easier to just
    click through to the original article.

    anyway: I like Marcia, but she definitely likes to stir the pot. Not
    sure if it isn't needed sometimes. She likes putting out well-argued
    criticism of DnD in just such a way it's gonna cause umbrage.

    I used to listen to it during my commute at one point, and I assume many
    do something similar. It's not really meant to supersede the written
    version for most people.
