What would you write on I-Open's tombstone?

Submitted by Betsey Merkel on Mon, 06/01/2009 - 11:54.

Would you be so kind as to take a short bit of time to help us with a research project. 

The task is simple, and only requires that you answer honestly, from the heart.   There are no right or wrong answers, only the opportunity for some useful insight that might help us better serve our communities going forward.

The question is this:  Imagine  you opened the paper this morning and read in the obituaries that I-Open had died.   It is no more.

but it's much more complicated than that. I've worked with people in

Public Relations is spam... the Cleveland Plain Dealer is the fan

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 05/30/2009 - 10:51.

It is well documented, but little referenced and intentionally overlooked by modern newspaper editors and their PR-stitutes... the origin of the use of the word spam, beyond for Hormel Foods Corporation's "spiced meat" (now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat") is documented as: "Correspondant Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty Python by at least ten years. He cites an editor for the Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it would stick to the unwary passersby."
