And While We're On The Topic...

I am on the Officiating.com baseball portion. Each page contains 5 articles.

The first page of articles contains 3 RW's
pg 2 - 2 RW's
pg 3 - 3 RW's, and a basketball article.

So out of the 14 newest baseball articles, Wiederalnders has written 7 of them.

pg 4 - 2
pg 5 - 2
pg 6 - 2
pg 7 - 2
pg 8 - 3

Remember there are only 5 articles per page. Wiederalnders has written 18 of the past 39 baseball articles (The basketball article on the baseball site is why the total number of articles is not a mutiple of 5.) Looks to me Garth is right on saying every other article is by Wiederlanders.

Well, maybe they don't teach us to count in Texas. I care not how many articles are displayed on each page. That changes, you see, with the length of the grabber. Right?

What happens is we publish 10 articles a week, two every day. Only on the rarest of occasions (it's been more than a year since it happened) do we publish two articles in the same sport on the same day. When that happens, we publish three that day.

Mr. Wiederaenders' pieces are as follows since he began in February:

February: 6
March: 8
April: 7
May: 6
June: 11
July: 8 (published and scheduled)

That's 46 articles in 26 weeks, which is slightly fewer than two articles a week.

Now, take your pick: If you were a subscriber (and I believe you announced you were not and would not become one: Am I right?), which would you prefer? No baseball articles that day? Or: An article you knew would be literate and well-written, one maybe that would even get your blood up?

And since you're not interested in helping to fill the yawning maw (Jabba the Hutt, if you will) that is daily (rather than monthly) publication....
