Back to the original thread: <br />Regarding Strang's columns, my best impression of them is that they are uneven. He's a good writer but his choice of subject matter ranges from the ultra simplistic to interesting and informative and then on to... well, weird (as evidenced by his latest column). <br />Regarding Koester's columns, I feel that somewhere along the line he got too full of himself , and it shows up all too often in his columns. I used to really enjoy his editorials years ago when he was at RMC; they were interesting and informative. And the first few years of "Trains of Thought" were the same. But then I began to notice a change in the column's tone and attitude toward the reader. Some months the column had a tone of arrogance and near-condescension, particularly when he would start beating the "operating-is-the-only-way" drum. And now, we're beseiged with the NKP updates. As a result, I seldom read the column any more. I would be nice if the "old" Tony would start writing again. I miss those columns. I realize it is an opinion column, but I don't like the feeling that I've been beaten over the head or that I've been talked down to.
