Re: commercial blogs and other commercial writing

Well, I'm editor of our city/regional glossy and one of the reasons I am good at my job is my knowledge of the community, which comes from being very active in the community. One cannot insulate/isolate themselves from such involvement and have a good understanding of what makes a place like Buffalo tick.

Anyway, I can't live that way. So I remain involved and use my common sense and judgement as appropriate.

Elizabeth.
