1. Enjoy your break
Avoid causing future shit storms. Get the facts from the source before writing about it. Ya don't wanna get "Rathered" early in your career, now, do ya? ;-)

16. Seconded....
A lesson I learned early as a student at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and later as a reporter for two Chicago daily newspapers, always check out all sources. Never publish based on unverified information. It can get you into deep shit.

3. You might want to make a quick correction
on your blog. It's HIPAA, not HIIPA. "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act"

Hope you come back soon.

Your missive needs to be spread far and wide.

5. OK, Will, I clicked the link.
Excellent article. It really condensed down the whole mess into a very coherent piece. You are such a good writer; you make it look easy, when in fact it is NOT. I've signed up to get the newsletter or whatever it is, or the email updates; anyway, I have the PDA on my bookmarked list, and I do check in from time to time...

I was hoping to get into LA to hear you speak and to meet you, but it looks like this isn't going to happen. No-one I know wants to go, and I don't want to go alone. Damn. I really wanted to meet you. Another time, I hope.

Enjoy your trip!

6. Will,
There are times when the only thing left to do is hang in and believe.

I don't pray very often, but I am going to for Andy.

Regards, T_C_O

12. I hope you are quickly refreshed, because I don't want you to stay away
long. This place always picks up when you show.

Besides, I never know when I'm going to learn something new from you - like "blivet"! To this day I refer to the occupant of the WH as the blivet**.

15. Always a good idea, too much of a good thing can be bad for you
Edited on Thu May-19-05 06:30 AM by Longgrain
I might be taking a break from posting around DU myself soon, to concentrate on my art.

Come back when your ready, we need you to help fight the good fight.

Take care Will.

26. You deserve a break.
Thanks to Joan for the link to your blog on PDA. I had a feeling it would turn out to be confusion and misunderstanding as I've seen it happen before.

29. Will, You're Human
That's all that needs to be said. You've done more than your share of good regarding the situation.

I'm still honored to consider you a friend and will get your ass stone cold drunk the next time you're in NY or I'm in MA.
