Freedom of the press has its price, but since you are an intelligent human being, Babs, being the editor and all, why don't you just engage us in this lovely back and forth, rather than doing what I would do when I was 15 and delete comments? This is not facebook. If this newspaper is really qualified and its writers are so excellent, they shouldn't need to shut people up to defend themselves.uhkneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121850999062564133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-84058752452478387762009-05-27T08:54:07.724-04:002009-05-27T08:54:07.724-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Horatio Algerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014475617509681687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-63328664669882707112009-05-27T07:24:06.822-04:002009-05-27T07:24:06.822-04:00Demroc,

She seems to have corrected/clarified 2 out of the 3 egregious errors I pointed out (errors, I might add, that anyone with a 6th grade education should not make.) Why stop at 2? Her maintaining the ludicrous position of personifying "comments" can potentially be explained by a serious, habitual and mentally deleterious nail polish/ether/glue huffing habit. Even a serious pot/mescaline/speed-ball habit would seem insufficient to produce such insane and elementary errors in the written word. No, this seems to be evidence of the pernicious effects of perhaps airplane glue. Maybe she should lay off the huffing and take up the bong?shanghai dandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016973693179795051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-40179494090826697112009-05-25T12:46:29.392-04:002009-05-25T12:46:29.392-04:00well it can be hard not to respond, gerard, when t...well it can be hard not to respond, gerard, when the saratogian prints libelous materials on it's webpages. and, you'd think the editor might check in on her blog every now and then, but i guess they're too busy over there.<br />and for god's sakes, they're paving nelson ave in september, you'd think it would kill them to mention that in one of it's sound off's and/or letters to the editor. the road is under current work by a private contractor. i'm sure if it was criticism of the saratogian, the sound off would be accomponied by an editor's note.Trapped in Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826228508668485852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-34113248749877714052009-05-25T11:35:52.748-04:002009-05-25T11:35:52.748-04:00This is just my opinion and it probably sounds idi...This is just my opinion and it probably sounds idiotic but,<br /><br />YOUR IDEA HAS ALREADY STARTED WORKING!gerard hawthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445452292238912048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-143123485989714922009-05-24T21:50:14.079-04:002009-05-24T21:50:14.079-04:00you could monitor the comments, or subject yoursel...you could monitor the comments, or subject yourself to arguments of semantics....Trapped in Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826228508668485852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-58647062960344047872009-05-23T11:30:29.412-04:002009-05-23T11:30:29.412-04:00You must have a flaw in your posting since half of...You must have a flaw in your posting since half of what I posted didn't come across.

Maybe Babs is referring to the dissipation of sound as it travels from source to sink? Or maybe she's finally huffed a bit too much nail polish and has lost her grammar faculty. Then again, there's a chance she's simply relying on Microsoft Word to edit her work. After all, I wouldn't want to re-read the posts she leaves here.Horatio Algerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014475617509681687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862146209934826772.post-76292258477612670542009-05-22T17:41:47.232-04:002009-05-22T17:41:47.232-04:00As Noam Chomsky frequently says,
