I mean, would assigning editors pay to assign? Would the managing editor pay to manage? Would the executive editor pay to execute? Would the sports editor pay to sport?--oops, no; that's what Tiger does. Let's see: Which ones would be the Morlocks and which ones would be the Eloi? Would this work for the top brass too?

And after four columns on this topic in six weeks, seems like time to move on, let it go, give this well-flogged dog a rest. We’ve read (or not) about Thurtell v. The Newspaper of Record on:

- Oct. 27, Vanity publishing and The NY Times
- Nov. 5, Class Party
- Nov. 12, My Times ‘beer allowance’
- Dec. 8

You were right in 1979, you’re right in 2009 . . . but this extended crying in your (unpaid) beer allowance is tiresome to at least one reader.
