One other point I'd like to make about this editorial - the whole "Rodney King" like vibe of "can't we all just get along" sounds great in theory but rings hollow when one realizes the author is almost certainly the same person who thinks it's a great idea to subject the rest of us (well, not me as I refuse to read it anymore) to the decidedly uncivil rants of the uncivil Schwab every two weeks.  Honestly, Jon, do you even read your own opinion page on Saturdays?  Haven't you noticed how that guy routinely goes off the rails?  I mean, clearly it's too much to hope for some sort of local conservative voice (and no, Larry Simoneaux doesn't count - he seems like a genuinely nice guy but he's a moderate at best) around these here parts however it would seem the Herald's interest in civility should start on their own editorial page.

Beyond that, though, kudos for the overhaul of the website..everything is much more organized and easier to read.
