Is there are reason you didn't include the NPR interview with Sue Gardner last Sunday on sock puppets? It was posted on one of your Talk Pages last weekend along with a direct link to the interview. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:59, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Liz – that was an oversight on my part, and purely my fault. I saw that when I read last week's edition (to which I did not contribute much and thus not read very carefully), and when I went to write this week's it completely slipped my mind. I apologize.

Okay, thanks for the explanation, Go Phightins!. I just wanted to know for future sharing of news, whether or not to post it to the Signpost talk pages. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 12:12, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone at The Signpost is interested, I can walk over to Paul's Senate office Monday (since I assume it's closed tomorrow), and see if they're more likely to give a statement in person. — PinkAmpers &^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 01:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
