Hell, at least ye olde newspapers have a “Letters” page to allow readers a right-to-reply. Perhaps Cory could learn a thing or two from mos def the fourth estate. BoingBoing could get themselves a readers blogger to handle complaints, rather than rely on their own judgement on what deserves sharing. Maybe then, he could claim any level of superiority over other online publications. boingboing corydoctorow theregister Posted by rod at 07:15 PM | 4 comments January 10, 2006 The two Johns must die If you’re writing music playback code that you’re going to have to keep running and debugging and trying to get working, don’t just use a folder of They Might Be Giants MP3s for testing.
