[MD] The Hero's journey

[Matt Kundert]

Yeah, you might have me there.  I hope not most of my posts, but I 
do think that a different style would behoove certain modes of 
conversation.  I'd like to hope I'm a good reader of differing genres 
and styles, but I also hope to balance a stylistic egalitarianism with 
an understanding of how form impacts content.  If that deserves a 
wow, then I guess.
