2, I have never laughed so much for quite a few months.
what an utter load of B'x#=&$£

I'm not even gonna take the time to comment more than that.
It'd hard to believe a real staffer/reviewer would put out something like this piece.
And by the way, welcome to WebmasterWorld, Metcalf. And further by the way, your post should be edited to remove the actual content of the article and to include just the link... and really shouldn't have been in the "Google News" forum. There are rules here, you know. Don't you read the paper? :)
[Edit: added final paragraph.]

I love WebmasterWorld!
On a serious note, though - and not wishing to inflame sensibilities about censorship - but really should the whole article be reproduced here? Isn't that infringing their copyright? The link, and maybe some selected highlights, should be enough.
It couldn't possibly happen here at <snip>!

If webmasterworld is so bad than why are you here?

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
The Oregon Herald does not pay for submissions. If accepted, we can offer exposure and a byline. We will consider daily, biweekly, or weekly features or columns but all such submissions are considered gratis and must also be approved by the editorial staff.
Talk about burrs in a saddle, this one fell on a catus:)
Keep up the good work is all I can say to admin and moderators that make this forum a useful tool for us:)
Guess that's why she's a reporter.
The Oregon Herald doesn't appear to be a "real" newspaper:
Ah, that does make more sense then. Some funny stuff on that contact page. For example, the very first item listed as the types of submissions they accept is "Consumer dissatisfaction reports." And, "If you send us spam, we may consider such spam an act of war and retaliate in an exponential manner." Yep, a professional outfit, this.
Anyone who's been around awhile knows that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
I'd go on, but I don't want to offend the advertisers she said were responsible for the censorship here... You know "The Donate Corporation" and the "Subscribe Company" that have those flashy, distracting, high-dollar banners at the top right corner of every page.
I need to go find my rubber boots and my barn shovel...

You can write the Oregon Herald about what you
think about the WebmasterWorld article at: news1@oregonherald.com
I urge everyone to send an email to them, proving
that WebmasterWorld is far more than what Mr. Lenny Morrison
describes!
Wouldn't want them to think we are spamming them :)
Think I'll settle for having a giggle, a yawn and moving on. :)
Seems there are too many people out there with too much time...
Wouldn't want them to think we are spamming them
even worse, get their "news" letter. I am sure those are filled with some real gems.
Welcome to WebmasterWorld metcalf. :)
I'm sure you will like it here!
As such, it did not claim to be objective, nor did it claim to be factual. it was what it was, an editorial review.
Oh, by the by, it dinna claim to be logical, intelligent, or even interesting.
But as that old saying goes .... a rant by any other name is still just another waste of bandwidth.
So, a tip of the hat to the lenny's of the world, and the kimberly's who post their views first and ask questions later. Let's face it ya'll, where else would we have gotten so great a laugh this eve.
