If I had been allowed any input at all on what articles to include, I'm sure I would have chosen some different ones. I was surprised at some of the articles they overlooked. Then again, I'm a terrible judge of my own work, so they probably sucked anyway.<BR/><BR/>But it was kind of fun for a while to see some of my inane rants printed in Connecticut's premiere newspaper. Oh well, I guess it's back to obscurity for me.CT Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334232414964958641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-6099366261170259072008-10-05T10:25:00.000-04:002008-10-05T10:25:00.000-04:00I have always much preferred the print version of ...I have always much preferred the print version of the paper, and have only read the online version, regularly, on Wednesday morning when my early morning radio show prevents me from getting the paper. I also read it when I'm on the road in a distant city. As for the web version, I frequently find it damnably hard to find stories and columns I know are there. That's not the case for me with the New York Times. And now with all the encapsulated stories, I think that search will be more difficult. I don't really understand why the print version seems to drive people to the web - is it an invitation to ready people to abandon print and paper?Ed McKeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767520306585909279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-91111465795838853822008-10-04T22:16:00.000-04:002008-10-04T22:16:00.000-04:00Hi Ed,This is more of a question than a comment.Ho...Hi Ed,<BR/><BR/>This is more of a question than a comment.<BR/><BR/>How do find that the new Courant format affects your accessing courant.com?<BR/><BR/>I had some habits built up so that certain stories in the paper paper drove me to the website. Given that I am spending less time with the paper copy of the Courant, I am finding that I am spending less time on courant.com also.<BR/><BR/>Has there been a broken symbiosis between the two versions for you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-26590200860934342922008-10-04T15:34:00.000-04:002008-10-04T15:34:00.000-04:00I too really miss the OpEd Page.

I guess that's why we need blogs.<BR/>I've also noticed a lot of the columns seem to have a snide, scarcastic tone which I hadn't noticed in the past. Maybe that's just a function of my age.
