Oh, I realize you weren't personally categorically damning all genre fiction. I was just taking the opportunity to complain a bit about those who do (a group of folks which includes the one and only writing teacher I ever briefly had -- I was mildly gratified to see his own first novel hailed in a review as, essentially, an enjoyable written sitcom).
In any case, you can hate all the genre fiction in the world as far as I'm concerned, as long as you make an exception for mine. Oh, and my friends', and that of the other authors that I really like. ;-)
