I warned you a long time ago that if I caught you pretending to be a
journalist again I'd call you on it. You're a pilot, a businessman, and
many things, but you have never ever reported news or worked in
journalism.

I know I shouldn't validate your asinine post with an answer, but your
arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance. I've never pretended to be
anything, my work and business ownership history is a matter of public
record, and your astoundingly self-righteous belief that the only valid
employees of a newspaper are "reporters" says volumes about you and your
supercilious attitude.

Here's a tiny clue from someone who participated in the budget planning of
several newspapers: Your vaunted "journalists" are actually called
"reporters" at every newspaper I've worked at and with, and they are at the
very bottom of the food chain. If you ever reach the management level,
you'll know that they are regarded as cannon fodder, cheaper than screw-top
wine and as interchangeable as athletic socks. Worse, most of them suck.

Or did you think they got paid less per hour than our bundle haulers because
they were held in such high professional regard? Oh, you didn't know that?
Shucks.

That said, and with this new knowledge firmly embedded in your craw, it's
time to call you out. No one here has seen any evidence that *you* have
ever been a serious journalist -- unless you count being a 2-bit disk jockey
under the name "Stella Starr" as serious journalism -- yet YOU have the
audacity to question my chops in the newspaper world?

You need a hobby. I suggest flying.
