Making Light:  Atlanta Nights and PublishAmerica ::: March 21, 2005, 05:38 PM

Georgiana:

  I wouldn't call Bill's piece an article.  It's so vague and slanted
  that I was going to call it an op ed but now I think it's more like
  a letter to the editor.

Its unedited malaprops and clichés suggested one of those essays we
see posted by burnt-out teachers trying to get kids to have opinions
for the SAT, usually with the student's name blacked out.  Or possibly
a writing sample for the sequel to Atlanta Nights.

Thanks, Lenora, for glossing "East/easy", I couldn't parse that one
at all.

Rummy:

  Why are the publisher in question's authors attacked as though they
  themselves are the publisher?

I second Aconite's request for examples.  I love to see the *I'm one
of the publisher in question's authors and I'm being attacked* line,
because there are people around here who can trace sock puppets all
the way back to planet V****B****.
