I also question this, especially since he said in his editorial a couple days after the "firing" piece that he got so many e-mails - hundreds - that he couldn't possibly read them all. He followed that up with "90% were in agreement with me" So in the couple weeks since then he got time to read and tabulate around 6,000 messages? They DON'T have the staff to do that. It's a small paper that has trouble keeping staff anyway.
