The lion's share really goes to Gannett Blog's readers, who supplied all the inside dope, in comments and e-mail. As the rewrite guy, I just pulled all the information into a post that caught a reporter's attention. Whether you call it crowdsourcing, or kibitzing -- it works. It's good to see credit in big national media like The Wall Street Journal, because it amplifies your voices well beyond this blog. (Plus, it makes a fun surprise for mom. Hi, Raine!)

On that WSJ story, credit where credit is due

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."

Crowdsourcing works best with great leadership and the kind of attention to detail you provide, Jim. Take a bow.
