But never mind, I've already broken my rule about arguing on the internets three times tonight, I will now leave you alone.

It was to SPECIFICALLY point out that Philly.com was <i>not</i> a part of the proceedings. Being web people, it's a hugely important distinction for us. And there's a shitload of deep, dark truth-telling in the fact that it wasn't as important for you.I'd strongly suggest you cool off a bit. Emily, you’ve got this one wrong.

But... it was a memo. It was written for employees, not for the public, and the people who were originally emailed the thing can, I think, forgive a minor, corrected error made in a raaaaaather hectic couple of hours.And seriously, the purpose of your drawing attention to it was not to clear up confusion about whether philly.com was involved in the bankruptcy proceedings, it was to point and gloat as if PMH, like, broke up with you on prom night twenty years ago or something.

What we can't give a pass for is Inky staff not having their ducks in a row enough to lead on their own story, with God only knows how many hours to do so. And as far as the accusations to pedantry here regarding Philadelphia Newspapers vs. Philadelphia Media Holdings, the difference between the two is notable: Philadelphia Newspapers refers to the Inky and DN, while PMH includes those as well as Philly.com. I would think that you'd know the difference. Emily-

Why on earth would you give a shit? I had a feeling we were gonna get some shit for not vomiting our internal memos onto the website the instant we got them.

Can you seriously not acknowledge that it takes a little more time to write 500-odd editorially approved words on your own company’s bankruptcy than it does to tweet Inky’s bankrupt! or slap a blockquote tag and a sarcastic headline onto a forwarded memo?
