I don't share the general feeling about May, although I agree that his on-screen persona deserves scorn. I once felt the same as most folks, but my son has met and talked with him on a couple of occasions and considers him an OK guy in real life. That's good enough for me.
Mark May must be a cheese connoisseur because he sure has a lot of w(h)ine every time his mouth opens.... (And yes I had to use spell check to type out connoisseur) 8)
