RE: Press coverage favors big companies, earlier speakers

Most net-savvy people indicate humor with something like a "(grin)" or
emoticon ":-)".  In your case, are you just not net-savvy, or were you

PS: None of this happened, for you humor-impaired folks in the audience;

journalists have deadlines and rush to file stories after hearings; I've
only been at Morton's once and that was when a colleague at TIME took me
there.
