Slog - Comments on Just the Facts http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/just_the_facts Up through yesterday the comments were still raging on (approaching the all-time record) in Jen Graves's original Slog post about the ethical questions raised by art critic Matthew Kangas's turn as a collector and curator.

Couldn't this have just been a response to Grave's original post? Thanks you.

The nut graf was buried at least five long paragraphs deep, almost at the end of the first page of this VVM-length diatribe. Total dancing about architecture, anyway.
