Randy Richmond (bicycling correspondent of The London Free Press) doesn't like the cut of my jib:
Hey Mark 1) We have no record of any emails prior to this one. So please re-send. 2) I'm not "afraid to confront someone directly" if you're proposing hand-to-hand combat on an abandoned bit of scrub after dark. However, if you're proposing to interview me for an hour, use a 25-word quote, and then fill up the rest of the piece with reactions from Catsmeat, Bernie, your bicycle boy Warmfront, Head Sock Khurrum Awan, ovine fornication specialist Professor John Miller, etc, perhaps you could explain what's in it for me. 3) I don't think there's really any question about your "journalistic ability", is there? 4) "Is this what your career has become?" Ah, well. I didn't get the professional advice you did.
