I was glad to see some letters of support, for sure. I had pounded out
some messages to the Editor, and to Mary. Mary wrote me back saying
they would look into my misquote etc, but nothing apparently came of it.
I pushed them to consider the value in doing story angles that would be
more broadly interesting - crazy stuff like success stories, new
initiatives, positive aspects of the projects.
With some SF events coming up in the future we're certain to get some
re-visitation in the local press.
Thanks for pointing those out, Phoebe.

Writing a feature story about your sister's internet woes by trying to
start an edit war? Now that's some classy reporting.
