So...the blog stops on the 19th? Or the 26th? Or?

Hell of a birthday present .

The 19th is its last day under me. My guess...only a guess but I will know more then...is that they will have guest posters until a full-time restaurant critic is hired. EL

Will the blog remain on this site, or will it disappear into deep cyberspace? I often refer back to it when my memory needs a jog or I need a restaurant link.

Dahlink,
My guess is that it will stay here on the Sun site, like You Don't Say's posts are still here.

I'm saddened to hear that EL's last day running the blog is a week earlier.

Now that you don't need to hide your identity, can we see a picture of you?

Fl Rob, I don't think the old You Don't Say posts are available anymore. At least I don't know how to find them.

I nominate John to take over the blog. Who's with me?

Seconded. We were musing about that on another post topic, maybe even as critic, wonder if the Sun would have to reinstate his seniority?

Is there any way we can bribe you into continuing your blog intermittently, whenever you feel like it, as a private individual? That way you can wean us gradually instead of cold turkey. Does anyone have a recipe for cold turkey?

This couple of weeks is supposed to be the weaning, it's just gotten overshadowed by the snow. Maybe they'll let me be the guest blogger when people go on vacation. By that time I'll be over my keyboardphobia. EL

Guest blogger--yes! There is a reason to go on blogging!

PCB Rob, the Sun yanked "You Don't Say" from the Sun website very unceremoniously after the organization gave Prof. McIntyre the boot. Same thing with the techie blog about all things Apple.

I'll join in on the request for the Sun to keep D@L in a searchable archive somewhere. In addition to the fun of reading (and sometimes commenting), I've used this as a good resource when seeking a particular cuisine, or restaurant suggestion in a particular area, even when needing lunch on jury duty day. What a wealth of information!

my bad, I thought the "You Don't Say" Sun archive had been available for a short while after the Professor had gone.

Rob, it was available for awhile. I'm not sure when exactly it disappeared.

Maybe after a certain time period the Sun would have to pay royalties to the Professor.

This was the case with reruns of WKRP. When that show was first on the air, you would hear lots of real rock music, like The Who and The Doors, playing in the background. The show had like a 5 year license to use that music in reruns. After that 5 years, however, the license expired and generic rock music was dubbed over.

Of course, the other option is that some corporate type wanted to free up server space for some Chicago Tribune stories. Who has the best deep dish pizza in Evanston? Surely that is of interest to the people of Baltimore.

Yep, as I said before, this prolonged snow period is turning my mind to mush.
