This blog consists of comments from my real blog, http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/, which I don't want to publish there. Plus some other stuff convenient to place here. And its becoming a convenient place for me to dump my comments on other blogs so I can find them again.

"is"? Should be "he", perhaps?
And that's a reply to a comment, not part of the post, and not a reply to Spencer.
Spencer's comment, slightly rephrased, that the Watties like WE lack all context and pointlessly repeat (badly) ab initio work that others have done better is entirely accurate, though.
