Reader Feedback I:
So I just happened to find your article rating articles from the Pitt News  on June 28th, including two of my own articles. While I am disappointed to read your thoughts on other aspects of the paper (editorial, news coverage), the kind words are still appreciated in regards to your thoughts on the A&E section. I didn't expect to have reviews on my reviews, but I can handle a B+....

Mike Smith
