Interesting to see you mention him! He and I have known each other for decades now; when I lived in San Diego he played in many of my campaigns, and had many arguments about politics—one year he and I agreed to meet for a pillow-fight after a particularly heated argument. Both of us were paying attention to furry material a decade before the article you refer to. . . .
