THIS IS *EVERY* DAY, EVEN ON THE DAYS WHEN SHE'S FIRED

Dear Dave,

The mysterious but ever-faithful judi has responded to my multiple emails over the years and she's always been friendly and responsive when asked questions about autographs and so forth. Assuming you rehire her several times, please consider featuring an annual "judi Appreciation Day" - and give her a big fat raise too. I'm certain this event would generate a lot of comments, assuming they are restored.

Your fan and friend,

Alan West

THE COMMENTS

The problem (if we understand it correctly) (which we admit is unlikely) is that the TypePad account we use was opened roughly four million years ago by somebody (we don't know who) at the Miami Herald who is probably no longer there, and to fix the comments we need to log in to the Owner account, but nobody knows how to do that. We're working on straightening it out. We apologize to those of you who would like to comment and cannot. If your comments are backing up internally, maybe you should go outside and release them. Do not do this in a populated place, lest you be arrested. ("The suspect was observed in the supermarket produce department allegedly approaching shoppers and informing them that 'Artichoke Bottoms' would be a good name for a rock band.")

Judi has been fired several times.
