A newsperson's anonymously correcting another anonymous newsperson at the paper that has turned anonymous quotes and tips into something of an art form is, to say the least, amusingly ironic.; 11/12/13, 2:57 PM

But anytime someone below retirement age leaves an organization without having a fantastic new job lined up, you can safely assume it is not amicable, tears or no tears.; 11/12/13, 3:42 PM
