Beginning Tuesday, you’ll find her click list , "Nuthin' but Net!" published here twice weekly, highlighting some of what she thinks are the most worthwhile and most entertaining items the Internet has to offer.
Chris often performs this very same role for our afternoon editorial meeting, telling us what we should be reading and looking for (more often than not sans cute kittens), and we wanted to share that with you:

ENDING THE WEEK
Brian,
The other day you said:
"You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now I'm up against a guy named Vinny in an efficiency apartment in the Bronx who hasn't left the efficiency apartment in two years"
While you have a general knowledge of a wide variety of issues and som by-gosh impressive credentials, I have a deep and broad understanding of just one issue.
I have devoted every minute over the past two years to understanding that issue from every conceivable angle. I have a strong opinion about this issue and I'm not afraid to express it.
Sincerely,
Vinnie, Bronx (Sent May 12, 2007 9:40:07 PM)
NO our leader and almost a god MSN must never allow this. :)

Net savvy uncovers all aspects of society.
Even the ones that show how we as a Americans are suckers for the apology.
