Riemann integral indeed?

For fans of this BLOG and the DRIP crusade (yea, both of you) it may appear that I have gone to the dark side since my two most recent papers are studies of properties of the Riemann integral:

• B S Thomson, "Monotone convergence theorem for the Riemann integral", American Math Monthly, Vol. 117, no. 6, June-July 2010.
  

• B S Thomson, "Characterizing the indefinite Riemann integral", Real Analysis Exchange, 2010 [to appear].
  

You can download preprints from here and here respectively. I hope you will (both) grant me absolution if I promise to return to a polemic on this unfortunate integral. Please write.
