What's with all of the crosses? Christmas? Or am I the only one seeing them appear in the article?

I figured they were just separating the sections for some reason.

Perhaps it's some sort of glitch converting it to HTML. I notice that now and then, punctuation turned into weird symbols...

I believe everyone sees them. This has happened before. I'm not sure the exact cause has ever been pinpointed.

Aside from being a bit, er, crossed up, any comments about the review?

Well, as the author of the reviewed title, may I say that I am very pleased with Tom's review. I think it's fair, balanced and accurate. I am gradually re-writing and updating it, too, and hopefully that'll be finished sometime in 2006.
