Col. Tribune responds

Surprised I am to find comments from "Col. Tribune" regarding my last post. But maybe I shouldn't be. Surely the Trib's web folks have search bots running all the time to find references specific to its web pages, or, more likely, when someone is linking directly to something on their page that might result in a waste of bandwidth. I actually copied the picture in the previous post and saved to my local server. Perhaps they also Google for the image's tags. And as long as I'm not being libelous or reselling the image, I might be okay.

Some disclosure may be needed: I worked for a few years at the Pennysaver, a suburban shopper that was owned by the Tribune Co. at the time. Afterward, I contributed editorial to many of the Trib's special advertising sections and later did a few features for their CareerBuilder section. Samples? Why, they're right here!

I certainly have nothing against what appears to be the Trib's version of "News 2.0," with content selected by people wating time on the internet (like I am now). Just don't know if this will help keep the daily dead tree version coming to my sidewalk.
