Thread Name: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
Subject: RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
well, my rant was more about the "no nit, unpicked" philosophy of belaboring trivial points with escalating acrimony...

well past time to take a chill pill. imho

I guess the idea of newsprint being an ultimate source of info was a bit offsetting for a very personal reason. Newsday is a very large circulation newspaper serving the NYC area, including Long Island, and when Mike and I did our first folk concert the paper included our gig in the entertainment section... BUT our husband/wife photo got switched with that of a hip male jazz duo ... yikes!

And due to the long drive involved, we were taking a young female high school student who we knew with us to the concert because we had been volunteer chaperones for their folk music club... but did not know the very alarmed parents who called us with a few questions.   LOL

One pissed off phone call later got an embarrassed Oops, so sorry, from the editor but no way to correct the error.
