Let me ask the other side of the question � how much have readers and their basic attitudes changed in the last fifty-several years?
<snip>
One result was that we grew. So did our knowledge. So did our range of interests. So did our satisfaction. So did our pleasure. And (I suspect) so did our judgement.
I restrict my writing to areas where I have first-hand knowledge and experience. I know that my opinions have changed over the years as my knowledge and experience have grown, and I don't object to seeing such growth in the writing of authors I read. Though I might be a little surprised to see JO'C dump the .270 Win, at least without some intervening transitional material. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
