Wednesday without our Editor.....








Hi folks,


I am Malika from the left coast, an engineer on the journals team.



We are all disappointed and sad as you are.


"Magicsmoke" is not the same without Joe.



I don't think anyone of us can fit into Joe's shoes, however I would
like to assure you that the journals team promises to be there for you.



While  management is working things out, a few of us decided to keep Joe's spirit going.


We will keep you informed on any upcoming releases, new features, downtime etc.


I hope you continue to write to us like you did to Joe, and we will continue to respond to your concerns, queries and issues.



Here is an update on the missing entries:


Journals database folks are currently working on it and because of the
huge amount of work involved, they are hoping to restore all those
missing entries by tomorrow. I will keep you posted on their progress.



Thanks --- Malika

You seem like a nice, ummm, whatever a Malika is.... but it really breaks down like this...

We want our Joe back.

Joe understands us. He knows which of us are idiots. He knew what would piss us off. We had him broken in just how we wanted him, and some suit at AOL yanked him off the table.

I speak for all of us... put some banner ads on the bottom of our journals for X amount of time, and use the money to hire the f****ing kid back.

Thanks, Malika.  It's good to know there's still someone on staff who cares enough to do this! - Karen

Hello folks,

We understand that blogplugs are still important to you as a way of helping share interesting, useful and funny blog entries around and I will try to continue to do them for you.

Please be sure you are tagging entries you'd like us to feature with "blogplugs" and you might be featured.

You said "I hope you continue to write to us".  Who's us?  Could you give us names?  You said "a few of us decided to keep Joe's spirit going".  Just wondering who we were writing to.  Thanks Malika for answering, and for stepping in and filling a void, as we are grieving that Joe is gone.  You are very kind for filling this void,

Krissy

Hi fisherkristina,

Joseph Manna and the Journals Team.
While Joseph monitors the Journalseditor email account, the Journals product team helps with communicating new releases, features, downtime etc.
And we all enjoy reading the comments! Its a team effort.
