Oh, c'mon people!! There's idiotic logic, and then there's idiotic
writing.

We are WRITERS.

Gimme WRITING.

(PS, with regard to idiotic logic, Verizon routinely asks if there's a
phone where they can reach me, when I contac them because my phone is
not working. In the days when I worked at home and had only my home
phone . . . )
