Introducing Salon's cheeky new women's blog

    Damnit - I opened up the can of pink again-

    Ok now that I've done the smart thing I have read all the other letters (d'oh), I am surprised to discover that I went right for the pink.

    I read Salon every day and happily consider myself a feminist. I finally decided to investigate the Broadsheet section, 3 weeks after it opened.

    I think it'll find its way and develop into a fine source for women's news. The only thing I'd like to change would be the pink.

    It appears I'm not alone - that there are many others who actually find the pink as gross and yukky and just not cheeky enough -

    So now what I'm really wondering is, why hasn't it been changed? Is there some consoritium of stern Salon Executives who are solemnly shaking their heads: "No, no, we can't have this. Next they'll be demanding bacon in their gruel! The pink must stay! Let them wail and beat their tiny fists, IT SHALL REMAIN PINK!"

    How can a loyal Salon reader trust the editors are listening - if they won't respond to something as obvious as this.
