Unfortunately, I missed the best stuff, because I've been in the ER all afternoon. No April Fool's joke here...apparently, I have both strep AND mono. Rad.
On the upside, I did get 30 Vicodin. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

No, probably not...just a demanding job.

First of all, may I just say PHEWWWW it took me quite a while to figure out the hoax, and I also think that the commenting add a whole other dimension to the posts, with further information, links to other articles, the occasional puns and zingers of course.
I have been an avid follower of this website since about 6 months after it started and only decided to join in on the discussion recently because for once in a long time, I am not longer 4 days behing on my newsfeeds.
I understand that commenting is a privilege not a right and as a Newbie and not approved yet, I have paid good attention to the guidelines.
However it has been weeks and weeks and I understand Hortense must be crazy busy with all this plus the week end posts, so I will continue being patient. But just so I know, is there something I am doing wrong, or is this just the average waiting time for lack of time?
Anyways, thanks for the hard work that you put in making the website happen, through thin and thin, and staff cuts.
Take care,
Jade from ANTM ----- (not really)

And I'm sorry for my raving email. But I don't have a sense of entitlement. :(

I'm sure there are times when some of the Jezetors wish they could just write, and not be flooded by criticism, and not be overshadowed by rockstar commenters and not have to hear from people that the open threads are the best. Some of us surely feel frustrated when the community we're building is reined back into picking an editor's date outfit, or whatever. We get confused when an editor takes a gingerly worded criticism of an idea as a personal attack. We get pissed when editors never seem to admit when they've made a mistake and we pile on them, hoping they'll hear us.
I don't know if April Fool's Day was the best day for Anna's passive-aggressive essay/joke, but I think that all our issues with each other aside, we are better having one another to read and learn from.

Somewhat unrelated, but while I appreciate how hard the editors work, I am perplexed by the seeming need to constantly remind the readers of this fact. I'm a teacher. My job is demanding, too. I leave school each day and come home to a mountain of marking and planning, and my students sure as hell don't appreciate that, and spend most of their time demanding more. Before that, I worked for a mortgage company funding loans. I often worked more than twelve hours a day with no lunch break. I was rarely thanked for that. Work is hard for just about everyone.
