   Congrats, Rufus!Report

   1. Personally, I think it was better here.

      But, yes, it’s awesome that it’s there too.Report

      1. Thanks! I’ll admit I liked the picture here better.Report

         1. Although, of course, I picked the picture here! So…. never mind!Report

         2. Regarding picture choice, it could have been worse.Report

4. Tout est pardonné, indeed. Congrats!Report

5. Congrats Rufus!

   I notice that they changed the title. Was that your idea or their’s?Report

   1. Oh, theirs- that’s standard operating procedure at most outlets. It’s why I always feel bad for writers who get savaged for an article whose title or lead paragraph gave the wrong impression.Report

      1. Or, even worse, when the angry comment is entirely about the lead in and title and they haven’t read the article at all! At any rate, I’m skipping the Salon comments, which tend to be a bit of a freakshow on a good day.Report

6. Awesome!

   There were no comments, so I got things started.Report

   1. Thanks for that! I usually skip the comments at Salon because they seem to get a lot of kooks there. It’s not as bad as some of the places online, but enough to make me appreciate our commentariat here!Report

7. Congrats!

   Of course, Salon’s going to Salon with their editing, as “Running the University (and everything else) like a Business” shows a different set of implicit value judgements than “The free market is destroying my school”Report

   1. Yeah, well definitely a different set of likely solutions to the problem than I would go with.

      Not a big deal. It’s actually somewhat helpful in illustrating to me that my titling could be punchier before I pitch stuff. My title here was okay, but I’ve pitched articles with pretty lame titles I’d have to say.Report

      1. I didn’t know how to write eye-grabbing titles until I learned this one cool trick!Report

8. Congratulations!Report

9. Excellent! Congrats!Report
