Congratulations Mr Ingram,

I am sure that all within your readership wish you well and recognize the serious (and seriously complex) task you have been handed.

As someone in the US, it had been several years since I visited the Globe and Mail online. I was pleased to find that the restrictions, registrations and paywalls that had always hampered my read have apparently been set aside. One wonders if you might have been some influence in this regard on CTVglobemedia.

"she’s not the only Queen on YouTube (I’m not counting Chris Crocker)"

So using the term "queen" for an effeminate homosexual is not somewhat pejorative in Canada, as it would be in the US?

I am of course a complete non-entity, however the very depth of my disinterest in this topic _compels_ me to comment.

Regarding the Comment of Chris Heuer of 4:20 pm January 20th.

"Jonathan Schwartz and the FCC"
"Essentially, the FTC wants to ensure fair disclosure"
"FTC Chairman Christopher Cox.."

hmmm... FCC, FTC, CDC, XTC, KFC

All great and good in their own way but perhaps (and again what standing do I [a snarky nobody] have to comment) but perhaps _SEC_ Chair Christopher Cox was of more interest to the conversation.

With a quick look at Mr Scoble, My guess is that it was a Reuben sandwich.
