Damn...would be nice if there were a time frame for editing remarks

Sorry to go three in a row (or is it three and out?), but I did want to add one more thing...

While I am not a member of the STFU crowd, I do want to say that I am curious how this opening attempt at launching "Ask a Wingnut" made it past the editorial process. It truly is incredibly weak.

I'd have expected an editor presented with this opening stab to tell the author to go back and try again. About the only reason I could see which might explain why that didn't happen is that the editor(s), either consciously or unconsciously, hoped that this experiment would fall flat on its face. If so, this was a good way to start.
