== Tut, Tut == 

 Well the proverbial storm in the fur-lined cup. I am dismayed that the vanity article by Tardif was included in Wikipedia: it considerably weakens the value I once placed on Wikipedia. I would still like to see it deleted - it is self-written by a self-published minor author. Nothing noteable whatsoever. My entry to Victoriagirl was possibly rude - about Tardif's contribution - not about Tardif herself. BTW I qualify for an article on moi far more than she does, but I would not be so presumptuous as to do so. I have not needed the vanity press in order to get published. I repeat and aver that I have every right to say what I did and will not withdraw a thing. I will however apologise to Ms Tardiv, but I want my comments to stay. That's the price of fame for the well-known author. Personally I cannot see myself endeavouring to contribute as I once did, given that Wikipedia has degenerated into a sort of forum for self-promotion by non-notable people. I suggest that in future one should be able to cite critique of one's work in several repectable forums and that indeed one should not write articles about oneself!
