What was that 'ding' sound? Did anyone else hear that?
Rhonda: That was your email, Shill Gates.
Oh! Oh...er...um...
Rhonda: Not used to the sound, huh? *smirks*
I'll have you know lots of people email me. I get tips about stories all the time!
Rhonda: Uh huh.
Uh...just...just last year, I had an email from someone on the City Council, informing me of an important decision the Council made behind closed doors without consulting the general electorate!
Newsie, really? That's cool that you have insider sources.
Rhonda: Please. It was an order for sandwiches -- the dolt on the Council had the wrong email address.
Um...oh.
*silence a long moment*
But at least she HAD my email! She HAD heard of me!
Rhonda: You will note I am not making any comparisons to Jack Sparrow here.
