    None. Apparently, you didn't even understand the position I was advocating. In the case of the original poster, I was advocating forwarding the call to the assigning editor, or whoever is in charge of determining who staffs what. At 99.9 percent of the papers I've worked at, this isn't the publisher.

    Frankly, I can't think of a call I've ever received that the publisher would have an answer to.

    No. 1 -- 99 is a lot of what? You don't even know what you're arguing.

    No. 2 -- You don't even know me. How in the hell could you be surprised about anything about me? Somehow, despite the fact that I forward calls, I keep getting fucking promoted.

    At a buddy's company - he works in one of the cheapshit newspaper companies - they say not to tell the public anything about having less staff to do coverage. That tells you what they think about the public. They're too stupid to notice that Joe Scribe's byline hasn't been seen in a month of games, that there's no new byline on board and finally, they haven't seen the paper at ANY of their games this season and can't figure out why that is.

    I feel sorry for some of you guys. I really do.
