<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks to all who made gracious comments, on and off the list, about our WP op-ed. Gratifying to receive such support from esteemed colleagues. Some of you asked about disseminating
this piece more broadly. Of course, we’d be delighted, and Jeff Bezos would probably be too if it results in more subscriptions to the Post.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Several of you also encouraged us to continue our efforts to publish similar op-eds in the mainstream media, even suggesting related topics. We will. Some possibilities are already
in the works. Our networks with journalists are expanding along with a greater understanding of their world and the realization that there are plenty of good apples among the bad. But, we hope that our success (this time) will inspire more of you to consider
entering this arena.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
