An article in the Oregonian where they report about Bend area developers and suicides -- and most importantly, BLOGGERS!
A couple of things really popped out at me.
First that there were 4 reported suicides of real estate types in the entire rest of the nation. And 3 in Bend alone. Hey, maybe there is something there, after all!
Second, the implication that bloggers had filled a news void. (And by comparison, the Oregonian is pretty much saying, Hey Bulletin! We just did your job for you!)
She could've actually contacted a few of us who had our names attached -- me and Bruce come to mind -- but I think she was wedded to the "anonymous bloggers" concept. She did actually post a message asking for us to contact her. But I think we were a little leery of her.
Or....another way to put it:
Yeah, right -- we anonymous conspiracy theory nuts are going to contact someone who SAYS she's a reporter for the Oregonian.....
Ironically, Paul-doh is closing his blog just as he reaches national prominence.
Sort of.
I can't resist going over to see what they're saying about all this.
Oh, and she quoted Bilbo/Buster.
Now we'll never hear the end of it!
