Crom

*Editor & Chief Lexicon

Never stepping down from the challenge of saying a lot of nothing about something. His theories border between genius and stupidity, and few Oracles are powerful enough to scry the future through the intense miasma that surrounds his aura, and those who've glimpsed the truth beyond the babble stand forever changed.

Quoteable: "Oh man, that's nothing...."
Likes: Music that doesn't Suck, books, comics and video games
Dislikes: Britney Spears Et al. , using "your" instead of "you're" and Edgar Allen Poe: you're a punk Poe, you go to hell.

Matthew Protti

*Editor & Financial Guru

Holding down the R4NT fort in Eastern Canada. He eschews platitudes and obfuscation counting rather on trenchant conclusions. Though somewhat limited in his range of interests, his command of carefully selected historical facts, abstruse financial comparisons and arcane economic theory make him a powerful critic.

Quoteable: "Check it."

*Videographer

Found in the gutter, he cleaned up real good. Hiding behind a video camera is a great way to avoid social interaction. How's it going? What the HELL do you mean by THAT? Checkout his blog.

Amy Protti

*Writer

Likes to get precise deadlines to enable procrastination up to the last minute. Usually indulges in light, slightly humorous, or entertainment - driven topics - leaving the heavy research for more ambitious writers. Generally writes about things she has personal experience with, such as travel, consumer purchases or favourite pastimes. R4NT allows her to satisfy her whimsical flights of fancy.
