I am more pro-tipping than most people but I find this to be pretty crass and tasteless.
TBH, posting a comment without first reading the article is a long-standing internet tradition.
Don’t believe me? Just check out twitter.
Can’t they just add this to the resort or destination fee 🙂
“This article was accidentally prematurely posted. “. Is it the custom of this blog todeliberately prematurely post articles as well? Enquiring kinda wish to know.
No, Maxwell…
…but this article was already out too long to simply remove it by the time I caught the error; so I left it. I own up to my mistakes.
If you do not believe me, you are more than welcome to review for yourself the past 13.5 years of thousands of articles posted at The Gate since August 18, 2006 to see that the posting of articles prematurely virtually never happens…
Dear Brian. I think you missed my point, namely my making light of the redundancy in saying accidentally prematurely published versus just prematurely published.
I’m so sorry that I missed the levity, Maxwell! I was not happy that the article posted before I was finished with it.
Hmm…I did not think that was redundant; but now that I think about it, I suppose you are correct.
Please accept my apology for accidentally prematurely thinking that you meant something different…?!?
