So it's not surprising there were returns. <BR/> Here's a story from the paper in Livingston County, a (for Michigan) growing county in Metro Detroit: <BR/>By Leah Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-26685016061170779092009-03-31T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-31T11:18:00.000-04:00OK, thanks Jim.

This was an exception to my general practice in cases like this.<BR/><BR/>I made the exception because the "huge returns" comment was not referenced in the headline, or even the lede. In other words, it was out there on the homepage -- but not in my headline feed.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651269559205765985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099437767970534324.post-14686604604107163012009-03-31T11:03:00.000-04:002009-03-31T11:03:00.000-04:00Oh, I agree the report is probably true. I'm just ...Oh, I agree the report is probably true. I'm just asking that you put the question out there on the blog area, not with a big headline on your homepage based on just one rumor. Once you get it confirmed (to some degree) then I have no problem with it being on the homepage. It is just a credibility thing. Pet peeve I guess. lol.

As I said at the bottom of the post, "Can anyone else confirm -- and add detail?"

Jim, I don't mind you letting people report this on the blog, but for you to take one, just ONE, person's report that the return papers in Detroit were huge and put that on your homepage, well that is just sad. I thought you had better judgment than that! At least wait until you get more sources. You know how people rant and make up stuff all the time on here. Thanks Jim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
