Man, we’re not this bad, are we? An e-mailer:

Your “Dead Zone” emailer is quite obviously a Corner newbie. Fridays,
for whatever reason, are ALWAYS slow around there. I never questioned
it; I just assumed slacking the day before a weekend was a blue-state
thing. Sort of like how you whine about weather.

That’s a rhetorical question.

And, uh, did Coffin say something. No? Good. I didn’t think so.
