Thought you would never ask!
Hyperlink is the power of the Internet. If you like a post, please copy the URL for that post and send the link to everyone on your email list. Your subject line or preface can read: "Please read this" or "You've got to see this". You know what to say.
Please add: "Jim has an e-letter that he sends out. Email him (hyperlink again) and tell him you want to subscribe to elpasonaturally."
Some of you have some rather hefty distribution lists. If you like a post, please tell others. If you are a non-profit, you can say something like: "I found this interesting about our mountains/desert/bosque/etc. I'm not endorsing the opinion, but I thought you would find it interesting too."
Pointing to a specific post and saying why you like it is more powerful than just a message about elpasonaturally in general - although that sure is helpful also.
Why am writing a post in response to a comment? Because, I've come to realize that El Pasoans are not getting all of the story. The Times and other media outlets are either not thorough or they simply repeat the same old bad information as did Joe Muench with regard to selling land to keep water rates low. (They also keep telling the public that the PSB owns land when the truth is that the PSB can't own land by law. They merely manage the land for the owners - the City of El Paso - you and me. It makes a big difference which is true and which is false.)
To be sure, the Times and others have some stellar reporters and great columnists. But their editorial policy and the zeitgeist that they purport is so very wrong and it is time that more and more and more El Pasoans know the difference.
So, please, if you like a post - broadcast it far and wide using your email lists.
It's time for a change.
