FWIW, I like the little added bios of article authors. I like knowing the author's background. I suppose it's a neccessary evil to keep adding the author bio even though he/she has written articles previously for the benefit of the new reader. Everyone has to start somewhere.
There was an article a few years ago in OTF titled "Richthofen the Archetypal Hero" (or something like that). I was familiar with the individual words in the article, but put together they made no sense. Can anyone interpret?
