Who said complainers never offer solutions?

Slate's David Wallace-Wells mentions my Sept. 13 imp_perfect post badmouthing the Times' Times Select today in his 'today's blogs' column.

"The Edsel. New Coke. Times Select," intones conservative GT at Civilized Invective. Others are equally skeptical. At imp_perfect, Iva-Marie Palmer writes the package is overpriced and suggests a scaled pricing system by which readers could purchase access to as few or as many columnists as they'd like. "What Business Is The New York Times In?" asks Jeff Lang of URBANintelligence. "Doesn't the Time's value come from the spread of it's ideas?"

I don't know how I feel about being mentioned in the same graph as a conservative, but I do know how I feel about being mentioned: Pretty cool.
