(That would be, of course, the most memorable part of something thoughtful and philosophic as far as I am concerned. Batman hitting on Jase? I must know!) Where o where did the picture come from?

It's not a bad thing at all really unless it's handled poorly, and I think that Tossell did a pretty good job. I've been reading a lot of the globeandmail.com recently and I've noticed a definite trend in the comments. People just like to pick something -- ANYTHING -- they can identify in the article and point it out. So if they find that it's naval gazing, they'll just say that, painting it in a positive or negative light, it doesn't really matter. I'm not exactly sure the purpose of this? Except to show up the guy who posts everywhere that the 'Leafs rule'. Maybe that's what I'm doing right now, I don't know. Rahul’s right.

I also read the 2 comments from readers. In response I thought: "What's wrong with naval-gazing?" Editorials have existed since before the printed paper. Rarely is the media reporting solely facts, there's always a slant, and there's often an opinion, and technology enables readers/listeners the ability to comment on the facts and opinions faster than ever before. That's what's happening with the G&M article, and that's what's happening with the blogosphere. If you're sharing your naval-gazing thoughts, and I find them interesting, what's wrong with that? /rd I read (and liked) Tossell’s article. I also read the 2 comments from readers.
