She has 2 black belts in Choi Kwang Do. She’s a a licensed detective. She makes lampshades. she wrote How to Win Friends, Kick Ass, and Influence People. Until recently, she read news on the CBC. That’s over. Now she’s a real estate agent.
Good luck, Lynne. We’ll miss you.

    A few people suggested tumbler to me. I took a look. It doesn’t have a commenting function.

    Good advice, Hugh.

    This was meant to be a link to the National Post, and then it got out of hand. And when I finished it, I realized it was a miniature post. So maybe I need another blog for these mini-posts?

    Just kidding!

    I’m going to try to follow your suggested policy, Hugh.

    And if Lynne is reading, I hope you don’t get too broken up over being in the link farm. It’s not such a bad place to be, is it?

    i hate to keep complaining about technicalities here, but this is a *post* with content (ie sentences you have written, and numerous outgoing links). it is not a *link* (which, as the name implies, is a link – tho you can get away with a short description on a link too).

    so now your users have left “post” column with posts and content; right “links” column with posts, links, and content, and sometimes just links.

    and a usability headache from not knowing where to look for the different stuff you are posting.

    i will be bold & suggest a policy:
    1. left column is for posts (ie several sentences of original or quoted content)
    2. right column for links (ie a single outgoing link, possibly with a short – say 150ish char max – description).

    Was she fired? Does anyone know what happened? and you want to talk about it here?

    Such a shame. Sorry Lynne. We all really liked you.

    Ahh, memories. Last time I heard that was at Burning Man.

    another stupid decision made by Dick

    Lynne Russell was brilliant

    maybe Dick was scared of her
