Feel like I should put this out there

[Allan Balliett]

When we were kicking around with Dmitri Orlov earlier in the year, he was
espousing his appreciation for  Kaczynski recent work and said he was going
to review it when he finished it.

When Dmitri finally came here to speak I asked him about the Kaczynski book
during the Q&A. He said he had yet to finish it "There's something about a
really smart guy writing in solitary confinement writing without a deadline
that produces a lot more words that you find yourself willing to absorb."
and then he took someone else's question.

So, I guess I'm saying GOOD LUCK!

But I endorse your right to give Kaczynski a good review if he deserves
one!
