If you’re not offending anyone, you’re just not trying hard enough.

Thoughtful post, Scott. Many eons ago, at the tender ago of 23, I let slip some of my misgivings about the journalistic quality of one certain NYC tabloid. Unforunately, it was to a features reporter at the paper who proceeded to show his out-of-joint nose to my boss. The pain that ensued taught me a valuable lesson: don’t bite the hand that feeds you, unless you want the hand to disappear. I’m sure Steve wishes he could retract his off-the-cuff, dead tree comments. Fortunately he has an authoritative pulpit from which to explain, i.e., “assume the position.”

Very funny — and thoughtful — series of posts here. Thanks for doing them. We could all use a chuckle or two in the wake of what happened in Virginia, and the situation you have been blogging on is worthy of a few chuckles, if not outright sniggers.
