He Used to Only Leap

Out from the depthless mists of time -- part of an old message by Peter David on the Newsarama boards:

"And if Spider-Man had had a stinger come out of his wrist back in the 1960s but no spider-sense, and "The Other" introduced an uncanny ESP ability warning him of danger, you would be leading the howl of protests as to how stupid that was while no one would be saying boo these days about the stinger. And you know it, so don't waste anyone's time saying otherwise."

That last line is so true. I swear, if everyone in online superhero comics fandom had to read this message before posting, half of its activity would dry up. And good riddance.
