If this were a religion, we'd probably all be apostates, or at least think we were, if we wanted to be worth a lick -- you're not a cat if you can be herded. But as you said earlier, Erik, it's impossible to predict how trends will go or what folk will fancy in years to come. And what does it matter, anyway? Though Michael's trying to read the tea leaves for some reason having to do with an article, I doubt he cares that much himself. I would add one name to the mix in this guessing game, though: Michael Donaghy.
