Our reader's scuffle with DirecTV over their "informational" robots calling her, despite being on their do-not-call list, got a mention in the New York Times this weekend. [NYT]
This is a test using rich text formatting and html links. It's the generic "company" ad that should appear on all posts with the Company category if they don't have an ad attached to a specific company.

A few years ago I left a review on Amazon for some crappy Hot Wheels toy someone bought my son. It was well worded eloquent. I few weeks later I got a call from a NYT reporter asking about it. She was writing an article on crappy toys. She quoted me and some of my review a few times in the article. It was neat. :)
Still don't know how she got my contact info from a review.
Despite their decline in significance and circulation over the past few years, it is still a bit of a rush to get your work mentioned in the Times. When my web page was mentioned in a Travel Section article, it was way cool!
