Go with a fumanchu. It'll skyrocket you to stardom. ;)

Had one briefly in college. Looked ridiculous.

Mr. Robinson, I hate to complain, really I do because basically I am a nice person. But, today's paper was the pits! It would even be rejected by dead fish.

If I were in your place being sexy would be the least of my worries. I would be worrying about keeping a so far loyal readership.

Being sexy is pretty much the least of my worries. But having some fun is higher on my list. Sorry you can't join me.

What didn't you like about the paper, other than that the UAE-port story wasn't stripped across the front page?

Carrie Bradshaw was never a reporter. She wrote a column about sex for a second- or third-tier NY newspaper. She never even referred to herself as a reporter or journalist on the show. She presented herself as a writer. Just needed to clear that up.

Did you notice that 6 out the 10 sexiest jobs were jobs that require a uniform? Just an observation- maybe there is something to the idea that women, at least, do love a man in a uniform. Money probably doesn't hurt either- hence the CEO's and the doctor's.

Well, it's well known within the industry that the male reporter's uniform is a navy blazer and khaki pants, usually ill-fitting.

Congratulations, Samuel, for filing for the commissioners. Good luck.

Mr. Robinson, Just WHY wasn’t the story of the ports not splashed across the front page of the N&R? It, in my opinion, is the single most disastrous event taking place in our country today. And, how it comes out will have dire effects on the American people. Joey Cheek is a lovely young man and certainly deserves all the accolades he is getting and should have gotten on the front of the Greensboro section of the paper. There are any number of sources of local news from your own People and Places to The Rhino. But a newspaper should report the NEWS. My husband and I could have retired anywhere in the United States after our 11 years of full time traveling, but we fell in love with Greensboro. It is a beautiful city with so much to attract people to it. It is also very much an insulated, isolated and ingrown city typical of small southern towns. Our leading and influential citizens and organizations, of which the only newspaper in town certainly is, really must grow up and realize that Greensboro is on the brink of becoming a LARGE city and will have to begin playing with the adults if it is to reach it‘s potential.

It certainly is a sad fact when its residence have to resort to reading newspapers from other cities in order to get some in-depth coverage of the news Sir. You need to give serious thought to just what you want to be a NEWSPAPER or a local PEOPLE’S MAGAZINE.

Ms. Bowers, we are purposely trying to be more local. With so many other sources of news and information available to folks, there's no good reason for us to duplicate what they have. Our experience is that, thanks to television and the Internet, most people already know about these sorts of world and national events. So, if we want to give people a reason to buy and read us, it is not to give prominent display to stories that people already know about.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying that the city is insulated, isolated and ingrown, but perhaps that's a conversation for another day.

Alright Mr. Robinson, I won't say anymore about it. I do believe however that you will be losing one subscriber if I can find another paper to deliver to my home. First you dropped several decent commentators and added some real losers, and now you are offing two Greensboro sections. Your paper, your play. Sincerely, Brenda Bowers

You mean reporters are paid less than poets? And to think, I was thinking of moving up in the world.
