Ben, your constant communication with a 'lawyer friend' worries me. LOL.

Howard, thanks for your thoughtful response. I hope you see the concern from some of us in regards to Andrew choosing to waste his column on this topic and suggesting that a lawsuit could be forthcoming over something rather minor. I'm certain that you are correct on your interpretation of the laws that govern publishers...you would be up on that more than any of us.

I also hope you can see the concern some of us have with a select group of only wealthy folks who are considered legit candidates to run for office in Hamilton by many of your writers, especially considering you are the only daily in town.

Finally, I hope you can see through some of the smart-aleck comments, largely made out of frustration with the constant tone and agenda that is put forth in Andrew's column. He routinely dismisses entire groups of hard working, passionate Hamiltonians who are quite possibly doing more to improve our city than he is, simply because some of their views don't fit with his views. This is personally my biggest beef with the MSM and why I cancelled my subscription (although I do miss Paul Wilson).

Hamilton has so much going for it and it seems that whenever we face some major decisions that could improve our city, some of your writers only see a headline opportunity, even if it means muddling the message.
In other cases you have writers who seem to 'get it' such as Terry Cooke, Jeff Mahoney and Paul Wilson.
I don't envy your job and I realize I'm just one guy in a big city, but I wanted to clarify some of my frustrations with your product and respond in kind to your response.

Cheers Jason
