There are a lot of "web-natives" who were print people long before they first saw a web site. That they are leaving newspapers in droves after spending years being ignored, trivialized and finally passed-over for management of their very own web operations, well... that's another story, now inn't it.

That way, maybe reporters and editors would understand why the A1 centerpiece story is buried way the heck down in the stack on the Web site -- because you can count its age in dog years in the Web world, folks! I am a little wounded, though, at the notion of non-Web natives crippling online operations. Sniff, sniff, sniff! A few of us have actually been on the Web since Al Gore invented it.
