    Let's make it a poll:

    Ok, boy and girls. The phrase, "I do feel better about my decision to leave the business," could mean:

    A) I enjoy ripe Hass avocados this time of year.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    B) Tough break, JD. But my spirits are raised.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    C) Who lives content with little possesses much.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    D) I wonder if my new office will have one of those air ergo chairs.

    E. Confirms that leaving newspapers was the correct decision

    F. None of the above.

    Personally I'd go with E, and I can't see where anyone can get anything but that from what Moddy wrote.

    and, btw, nice pull with the hass reference in A.

    Not at all, just pointing out that FW's pulling his options out of thin air.

    Correct decision for Moddy, right?
    Or, we're just going to make a blanket statement and say everyone should leave newspapers?
    Because, there isn't any good work still being done in the industry?

    I despise that mindset.

    While there are legitimate concerns about this industry going forward, I'm fed up with the sky-is-falling talk.

    No, I am not advocating that we ignore the problems we face, but I think many of the problems we face are of our own damn doing -- we're talking ourselves out of business with this whole "no one cares about us, go to the Internet" crap.

    Cool. Fair enough.
    Told you I was a little pissy, today.

    I thought "A)" could have been taken seriously.
