Heather,
You said, re. Julie Burhill's latest rantings:
>To point out in print just how rubbishy it is, is to somehow align oneself

>Yet it needs a response...I think.

I don't think that at all. It doesn't deserve the dignity of a response.
She does it to get attention (she once boasted she'd do *anything* to
get attention). So, I vote we don't give her any. If no one wrote any
outraged letters to the paper, she'd be out of a job.

Incidently, last week she was saying that people who are unhappy should
stop whinging and do something positive in their lives. Seems like she
should take her own advice ;-^
