Yours. How do the managing hacks at the company still employ you? That paper has been sinking for 30 years and the once constant is you. There is plenty of blame to go around at that rag, but you are problem number one and that paper will be considered a joke in the community as long as you are in a position to do damage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-28424175798483238822010-04-01T08:00:44.471-04:002010-04-01T08:00:44.471-04:00Rules 2 and 3:
