First, let me offer my deep honor that you would visit my humble thread. I do remember seeing you name on the ''byline'' (is that correct for an article like this? -- YES! Opeds carry bylines, sure). Sorry I didn't write it in my initial post. [No problem. The issue is what is important not my name.] This is the first time I have ever encountered an author of an op ed before, let alone away from the comments page of the actual news source. IT IS MY HABIT TO REPLY TO EVERYONE ONLINE, that is why i am a writer, i want to communicate and I appreciate your interest in these issues. I googled and found you. Nice. SMILE.... and by the way, that was my first ever PUBLISHED oped in a US newspaper after trying for 40 years to get one in...thanks to the CSM for having an oped open door policy. I sent the same oped to the Wash Post and the NYTimes and the LA Times and the Boston Globe and it was rejected by all of them, without even a letter in return explaing why. Only the CSM was kind enough to write me and say we like this piece, we will publish it. BRAVO to the CSM.
Do you happen to know how the latest edition of the Chicago Manual takes on this particular issue? DO NOT KNOW BUT GUESS THEY SAY CAPS
As for pro or con? I'm still stuck in the middle of the street. Both directions of travel sound reasonable to me. ME TOO SITTIN ON DA FENCE. NICE VIEW
