[Mpls] FYI: Strib quotes list

[ABerget]

Just a word to the wise, gleaned today from experience:  Strib columnist Barbara Flanigan quoted me in her Monday column from something I  posted to this list some time ago.  No biggie, but neither she nor anyone else from the Strib had contacted me about the post prior to its appearance in the paper yesterday. I was surprised when someone at work told me I'd been quoted in Monday's paper.

Now, I don't care. I figure that anything I put on the list with my signature is out there in the public domain and the quote was innocuous, but I was still surprised to find my remark quoted and attributed in Flanigan's column yesterday.

Given the fevered pitch some recent postings to this list have taken, I just wanted to remind you that "stuff" does get around...in case you want to consider this when you post.
