Reporters from sister papers went at it? Awesome. And sad.

 

I dunno, Inky ... it's just old guy babble, but I miss those days when everybody wasn't nice and polite when venturing out of their offices (now cubicles) or looking up from their iPads.

 

Want me to Teleram your iPad, for nostalgia?

 

Don't know either one of these guys but count me as a member of Team Les based on what I read. Great stuff!

 

The "sad" comment was because they work for the same company. In-house fights should never be done in public - Twitter or fisticuffs.

 

Don't know 'em either, but I'm a Les fan now.

 

Oh, for the days when something like this would be settled over tumbling bar stools instead of social media....

 

Hah! How about AmFax or CanFax? And as an old hockey guy, I'll take Les.

 

I don't have an iPad, but might have the former in a closet somewhere. More likely there's a Trash 80 in there somewhere, though.

 

Go Les!

 

You reap what you Tweet.
