If a columnist is measured by the response his or her article generates (as is suggested by many) these article's would be Basil's Greatest Hits (though not necessarily my personal favorites.) Not all of the responses were negative, of course.

Note: This time, the count-down is in PROPER order. And I didn't write most of the titles, so don't blame me if you don't like 'em.
