Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

What?  You mean... I was vindicated?  I must have still been loopy.  Thanks, afew!

btw, I should explain that I was too exhausted to re-visit that diary or to really read Colman's, which I should have.  The last thing I remember was you and I arguing over whether or not media should provide narrative.  That never was resolved, was it?  It's been nothing but open-thread joking and Olympics since then...

Oh, and yes please, I'd very much like it if you'd email that to me, but only if it's no trouble.

Shoot, nevermind on the email.  I just re-read and realized it wasn't what I thought.  I really should resist commenting this late at night!

Our discussion, which, iirc I dropped because we were stuck in a subthread at the bottom of a mine somewhere, was about whether and how we should use story to counteract the media's use of it. You're right we should pick that up again. I haven't got time right now for a diary. And, to be truthful, I'm not sure my thinking has settled down on this yet.
