An extension of the Common Sense Journalism monthly column by Doug Fisher, former broadcaster, newspaper reporter and wire service editor. From new media to old, much of journalism is just plain common sense.
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock." - Unknown (often improperly attributed to Thomas Jefferson)
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair
"Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire
"Common sense is instinct; enough of it is genius" - George Bernard Shaw
Excellent piece this week by Phil Noble about Estonia, its president and its rising place in the e-world.

Don't you want to take another look at your punctuation there? I kept looking for the punchline and not finding it.
Great - or in my case, little - minds crossing in cyberspace.
I was looking back at that, let out a little epithet and was editing it even as yours, apparently, was coming in.
Thanks for the outpoint.
