i didn't bother to mention pandoc to you idiots because
you were so convinced that light-markup wouldn't work,
and willing to bet (and lose) all your credibility against it.

also, since we're on the subject of pandoc once again,
someone who wanted to win that $100 prize from lee
could convert my .html output for "books and culture"
into markdown and restructured-text, using pandoc...

he has no credibility left.  might as well take his cash too.
