That’s a bad combination, but there’s light at the
COMMENT: Buying Habits…and How to Change Them
First, read Ed Cunard’s post criticizing the Independents’ Day campaign (read the comments, too), then read my intro to yesterday’s On the Shelves.

Open letter to Vito Delsante (incogvito)
[Since you have your comments screened, I’m guessing you probably won’t release this one… UPDATE: He’s since unscreened my comment.] Dude, your violin really needs a tuneup.
