Well, first of all, I was joking--In case you've never noticed, I like to harass Sam publically, and do so at every opportunity I get.

Second of all, you may have gotten your signals crossed, but the works that were just posted are not the same as the ones that were being discussed in the "wouldn't it be cool if we posted all our crappy old stories" thread. These are stories that were posted in response to several people wanting to read *good* examples of our work. I'm sorry if you don't find them very good, but they're the best I have available to the general public right now.
