   Here all along I thought, after I got a few years on Orwell's age at the   
   time, that GO was simply enjoying himself, while sharing his not-too-   
   important views on how this was done -- as well as reaping the added   
   benefits of doing an essay sans research, a real time-saver.   
      
   It seems that this is also basically what the author of that hateful,   
   hypocritical, almost clinically insane piece above was doing, too.
