I have now read Joe Nocera and Peter Elkind's Fortune piece on Condé Nast, and... uh... it has a powerful narrative drive, and lots of financial detail. But unlike insect penises and Nina Burleigh's urge to perform fellatio on Bill Clinton, I don't think the financial health of your employer is a fit subject for us to discuss in public.

Struck dumb with terror,

Tim
