The anonymous author is taking submissions. Meanwhile, anonymous author, if you want to conduct a mysterious interview under cover of darkness, you know how to reach us.

P.S.: A respectable blog reader may feel compelled to question: Is this news? To which we reply with a question of our own: Is it Friday?
