European Tribune - Comments - Oh no! The commies might be back!

Oh no! The commies might be back! | 38 comments (38 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

(Break up the first paragraph for easier reading.)

I envision future LTE´s ending with the "ET signature catapult", like

"...just today XXX members at eurotrib.com have fully suscribed this letter..."

Re: LTE (4.00 / 2)

We can do this by counting the number of "4" ratings on the comment giving the final version of the LTE.

I fully subscribe to the letter, and to the catapult.

Re: LTE (4.00 / 2)

There are at least 2-3 items a day that would call for an LTE and 1. we may do some progressive good, 2. it would spread the name of ET.

Just today I sent a comment to cnn.com ((about the blatant omission of the US in the child poverty article that finger-points at the UK (bruno-ken in Salon de News)) and it would be much more effective if it came from a collective.

Technically, I leave it to others, but maybe just an asterisk in front of the title would alert us of an LTE in progress, so we can participate.

Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.

Re: LTE (4.00 / 3)

I would add a new category of post (separate from Diaries and Stories), the "LTE". It would go into the "editorial queue" and, once finished, it would go into a "publication queue" and post either to the front page or to the "LTE" section of the website. LTEs would time out of the editorial queue after, say, 2h, at which point they'd be ready to be submitted.
