He’s modest. He doesn’t like putting his name on his stories.

He uses an alias. Obviously.

I guess that is why, now, he blogs!

Ego check.

Nom de plume?

Ah, newspapers. I knew them, Yorick.

I do in fact read the bylines these days, as an indicator of how much weight to give to the article. Sad, but true. You have to be a savvy consumer of news.

Back when I was working for The Daily Orange at Syracuse University, I was complimenting a fellow student, saying that someday she’d work for The Times or The Post. She got upset because she thought I meant the New York Post. Had to tell her I meant Washington.

The joy of being forgettable.

Of course he works for the Post, never a doubt.

OUCH!!! (all caps).

She probably doesn’t read the Post’s comic sections which is why she missed him.
