    Thank you, Tom. Beat me to it.
     
  2. Gee, thanks. Long-time lurker, finally posting, and you think I have no clue. And Shotglass decides to follow me around the board. The latter fact just affirms for me that some people have no sense of identity off the Internet.

    Not everybody can get their start with those "free clips" and $20 a story internet gigs. Some folks have to start someplace.

    Yeah, that's about right. They're not always contradictory concepts, as you have proven.
     
  5. I agree everyone's got to start somewhere, and I started somewhere, too. But THIS MUCH discussion over a 2,000-circ paper? Is it even a daily? Come on.

    And $20,000 to be the sports editor — the sports editor, not a sports writer! — of ANY paper? That's more than an insult. Bagboys at the local Giant Eagle, who string prep football on Friday nights, make more than that.

    And finally, Shotglass, your 18,650 posts don't make you an expert, so STFU. I've been around this business, small and metro papers alike, long enough to have a clue. Take your swatting cats and go back to work. That little weekly of yours doesn't print itself.

    Wenalway must be laying off positions...
     
  7. Careful, shot. You may give an inch, but he'll take a mile. ;)
     
  8. Leave it to a designer to drag a topic off-track. You suck, Shotglass.

    whoa there skippy. you give yourself waaaaay too much credit. for starters, what your self indulgent ass calls "following me around," the rest of us call hitting the "show new replies to your posts" link. get over yourself.

    secondly, if you don't like what you're reading on a thread, by all means, do what i do and bail the fuck out and find another. maybe the rest of us enjoy a little back and forth about the kane republican and could give two shits about your hypersensitivity to chewing up bandwith.

    so, in conclusion, go fuck yourself, and, secondly, go fuck yourself.


    with love - tom



    oh yeah, fetch me a pyramid ale newbie bitch.

    The publisher of this paper won't be happy to read how this discussion went off the rails:
