Again - no personal offense to anyone or even the Fayetteville paper or Brian Tolley.

Just saying, when I saw Fayette-nam landed a DMN staffer, I was shocked.

Was merely looking at in the fact that if you've ever worked for a small(er) paper, you realize there are quite a few obstacles -- ones that don't exist when you get used to have "almost" unlimited resources at a place like DMN.

And, the whole salary issue.
Good luck to Dennis.

As a current employee of a "do whatever it takes to make this a great product" independent family-owned small(er) paper, and a future employee of one that I feel has a lot of the same ideals, I can tell you that these "obstacles" you speak of are only there if you chose for them to be.

Never let resources get in the way of a good idea.

I've lived by that motto for a while now and done just fine with it. Dennis will have the opportunity, along with myself and a large group of eager people, to take the resources we have and do great things with them. Sure Dallas has more "people" but you really can't use that as a crutch anywhere. If you do, you're doomed for failure.

We won't fall into that trap, and we will succeed.

Easy on the Kool-aid. You'll get a headache if you guzzle it like that.

It has to be hard being Kool-Aid. You get none of the attention while the giant glass pitcher goes crashing through walls making a fool out of himself. You get blamed for mass cult suicides. You leave awful stains on my daughter's clothing.

No respect I tell you.

And the worst part is that Jim Jones probably used Flav-R-Aid or the store brand.

10 cents a pack is much better than 25.
Just saying.

Oh no way! I'd much rather pay for the Kool-Aid brand. That other crap just tastes like colored water. At least our friend Kool-Aid has SOME sort of fruitish flavor.

Is it a given that this thread, along with the Birmingham News' Alabama beat job, will be among the Thread of the Year nominations in the Jobs category?

I don't know, I'm thinking that title has to go to one of those blondebomber scorched-earth Las Vegas threads.
