Did you writers read the Sept. 29 issue article about Henry Fowler and his "Dictionary of Modern English Usage"?

I had a copy of Fowler on my bookshelf. I don't remember when or why I got it. I can't remember if I ever used it. I don't remember what I did with it or when.  :-\

I found the discussion of the use of "that" and "which" particularly interesting. Apparently, I follow Fowler' preference and didn't even know it.  ;D
