bullet  What? I Actually Write This Stuff?

Bob in Washington, D.C., upon reading last week that I rewrite the entire content of True, writes: "I did not realize that you wrote the entire articles. I presumed that you collected newsfeeds, picked the winners, and added header and tagline. I appreciate your efforts even more, now."

Well sure: I have to write it all -- otherwise, I'd be violating the newspapers' copyrights! But since facts cannot be copyrighted (which would surely make no sense at all, if you think about it), I use the facts to rewrite the stories to fit my style and space. I knew my journalism degree would come in handy someday!
