I read the new york magazine story about the grups too but have yet to get to alternadad. i don't need anything else reminding me of how uncool i am.
thanks also for including my humble zine in the lineup of my many mom-writing inspirations. you are wicked cool yourself!

screw you, n**l pollack. you've pissed me off for the last time. you're nowhere near as cool as you think you are.

you, whiskeysour, are super-cool, however!

You know, I read "Preschool of Rock" in the NYT when it came out, and I also noticed the similarities to your book (which I enjoyed!). It struck me as kind of odd, too, that this guy comes out of left field and acts like he's invented "alternative parenting". Pshaw! And yeah, what was up with the diss of Dan Zanes?! Your column is right-on.
