This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yes, you did. by The Irish Cardinal

And yes, you were exactly one of the people I was referring to. Although I can think of a few times where we let loose. There is a former editor-in-chief of ours that lives out in LA, where I am now; I've been meaning to drop a line and ask how things were going.

That is a shame about the frames. I thought I had lost mine for about five years, but miraculously found them in the attic of my parents' house about eight years ago.

My grandparents passed away earlier this year. My father and I spent a weekend going through their house, attempting to organize their personal effects. While going through one of their closets, I found a large garbage bag full of newspapers. Apparently, they had subscribed to the Observer, and kept all the papers that had articles that I wrote. I brought them back with me, but have no idea what to do with them, other than to keep them in a safe space in the closet. But some tears were shed when I found them.
