yabut?
In his short run as Editor at this website, our skeptical, curmudgeonly alter ego “Prof. Yabut” was fairly prolific. Below are links to his Favorite Postings while Editor, to his more-recent emeritus offerings, and to other f/k/a pieces from 2003 through 2009 that he liked the most, in reverse chronological order. [It's the closest we have to a Best of f/k/a List] Clearly, Yabut’s a “Yea, but” Man, not a Yes Man.
