He's definitely not for everyone's taste, but he's always an interesting <br>
read.<br>

And yes, this is the second time that LJ ceased publication. Whey <br>
announced in 2017 that they were shutting down, but immediately an angel <br>
showed up brought money and a new business plan to play.<br>

I wrote <pwa data-pwa-id="pwa-ACED9768506F2B131561BF7E2AE9BBBA" data-pwa-rule-id="READABILITY_122" data-pwa-category="style" data-pwa-hint="Readability may be enhanced by using: two" data-pwa-suggestions="two" data-pwa-dictionary-word="a couple of" class="pwa-mark pwa-mark-done">a couple of</pwa> articles for them when they resumed publication, and <br>
only quit writing because my day job doesn't leave me the time. <br>
Otherwise, I'd still be writing for them today. They paid reasonably <br>
well and paid on time.<br>
