I don't know about "dumb things" you have done lately but letting you go was certainly one of the "dumb" things AOL has done lately. A quick read of your Magic Smoke blog on AOL makes it obvious to the "outside world" that there really wasn't much of a transition in place ... that some thoughtful employees just dove in to communicate to the Journals audience after you were let go. I stick with AOL Journals simply out of a sense of loyalty to a former employer. I sure hope they get it right ... and that they don't lose sight of the community which attracts advertisers to begin with. Meanwhile, good luck to you. I'm sure you will be snapped up quickly.<BR/>Best,<BR/>MartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
