You appear to be Ichiro Suzuki, so my response is obvious: Ichiro, you're already perfect in every way.

We'd have it no other way.

And after all I did for you mentioning hockey occasionally!

It can be all about two things!

No worries! There was just enough talk about how the whole "copy editing" thing was a lie or a front or what-have-you, that I felt like taking a moment to point out that this somehow actually was all about copy editing.

Multiple top picks, in fact!

This doesn't affect what we're covering in TV Club in the slightest. This is just about what gets a blurb in WOT and what doesn't.

The pieces are still going to be copy edited. The writers just all agreed to turn the pieces in early the day before to allow that to still happen.

His mistake was assuming Philly has humans. It has Philadelphians.

I'm still not clear with what story where the publicity stunt ended and the actual news began, but let us never doubt that Philadelphians are the realest motherfuckers alive.

Hi, Vogon Poetry. I thought we already kind of dealt with this stuff, but I'm wading in again because, well, I do honestly care about repairing the bonhomie of this place, and I can't stand the thought of a Douglas Adams reference being mad at me. So…

I dunno, I understand the thinking behind assuming all decisions are ultimately driven by monetary concerns, but I think in this case it's perhaps overestimating how much money WOT can make the site, regardless of when it's posted. Based on all the conversations I've had — and while it's not *impossible* my editors…

Boris Johnson is the Mayor of London and a serious contender for next Prime Minister almost entirely on the strength of his appearances on Have I Got News For You (which I guess isn't technically a late-night show, but close enough). Of course, whether that qualifies as "good" is highly debatable.

And that's a very fair thing to be pissed about! There's not really much more that is my place to say, but I can at least say that I'm legitimately bummed that this could disrupt the WOT community. There's a reason I'm staying up to 2:30 discussing this with you all, and it's mostly because of the (possibly misguided)…

Of course. There's absolutely no reason you should give a shit about analytics or whatever. And really, I'm here as a freelance contributor who cares about both the site and its commenters, and I'm honestly probably overstepping my place a bit in attempting to bridge the gap. So yeah, I can't really offer that much…

Right, and the experience of the power users is different from that of the casual readers. There's a lot of value in the passion of the power users, and there's also a lot of value in the sheer number of the casual readers. It's not always possible to serve both groups as well as one might like.

Okay, let me slow down. That line was meant to be a bit of levity, primarily in response to Harvey Dent's comment as opposed to a general blame. I'm sorry that it struck the wrong tone. That's on me.

I'm just telling you the stated reasons I've been given. Maybe I'm being worked — it's not impossible! Worrying about the money side of things isn't part of my responsibilities as a WOT contributor, so I'll cop to ignorance on that point. But I'm faithfully relating the substance of what discussions I've been privy to.

I mean, Teti wouldn't have held that live-chat essentially just to apologize for the Star Wars week fiasco if you guys *didn't* matter. But…

Shit, is it too late to claim I can psychically sense when Jay could use an extra 5-10 minutes to finish his Jeopardy recap?
