I know now for certain that Mark B is the trusted and very able minion of some deep dark power that roams the blogosphere seeking to subvert and devour any semblance of reasonable discussion. As with the omnipresent voice of confusion in "1984", this ever-lurking lieutenant of evil twists around perfectly clear words like "meta" into dangerous and unrecognizable nonsense. Much like those who predict a coming apocalypse and then do everything in their power to bring it about, this proud minion of darkness who -- in this incarnation -- goes by the name Mark B can be an utterly charming fellow, and the seeming bringer of light. Be warned: he is in fact full of ruthless guile and shameless deceit! Stay away from him - stay far away. He has tricked me and emeshed me in his ugly nest of troubles; be on guard lest you too be ensnared!!
