I was a loyal Econ talk listener for many years, and then I made the mistake of writing Russ a thoughtful question because I thought Russ was a curious person... What I got was a dismissive response without even an ounce of graciousness. A reply like "thank you for listening for years, I'm glad it's been of value." takes 10 seconds to type...
