    Hey @Fredrick: I've got some buggy whips and typewriters I need you to sell. Can you come up with some creative ways to entice people to buy those?

    I have heard about 12 names, but no full list is out there. I know of 3 in sports and 3 in business plus others.

    Final buyout list, with years of experience lost to the Post:
    Tom Trout, 42 years, 2 months
    Claire Martin, 31 years, 9 months
    Lori Smith, 30 years, 8 months
    Maureen Scance, 29 years, 11 months
    Joanne Davidson, 29 years, 8 months
    Steve Raabe, 3 days short of 29 years
    Allen Daniel, 27 years, 2 months
    Vickie Heath, 26 years, 10 months
    Tom Kensler, 25 years, 10 months
    Electa Draper, 17 years, 4 months
    Bryan Moore, 16 years, 6 months
    Anthony Cotton, 14 years, 6 months
    Susan Clotfelter, 13 years, 9 months
    Jeff Domingues, 13 years, 8 months
    Lisa Kennedy, 12 years, 3 months
    Tara Lutzens, 10 years, 11 months
    Mark Jaffe, 10 years, 2 months
    Lynn Bartels, 6 years, 5 months
    Dean Krakel, 4 years, 6 months

    The last two, Bartels and Krakel, had numerous years at the Rocky on top of their time at the Post. Yes, Irv Moss and Paige are still there.

    Management came up three short in its target so presentation/design managing editor J. Damon Cain got pink-slipped this morning.

    Almost 400 years of institutional knowledge there.
    Should be some hefty bonuses in the boardroom, yes?

    Damon Cain's office was cleaned out yesterday and the staff was notified last night.

    Also, there were 22 buyouts announced last week to the staff. Belief is that 3 we're rescinded. One other staffer quit recently as well, who was not eligible for the buyout.

    I need to go look back in the archives on what the number of years of institutional knowledge was in late February 2009.
