[Seattle-editorial] Proposal: An Insider's Look at The IMC

[Jason Reep]

actually, I think that making additions to existing features 
(espescially ones that are near the top) is desirable.  I don't want the 
Features section to be just anohter newswire where things age off 
quickly and are no longer relevant.  I think that there's no reason a 
given feature can't remain active for weeks if it's a live story. Also, 
woulnd't want to sacrifice the somewhat more crafted and composed 
qualities of our features, not that I've written many (any) :)

in this case, the topics are so linked that I think it would be 
redundant to create a separate feature.  Isn't it possible to match the 
style of the titles for an addition to the existing feature.  In other 
words, add a second title to the same feature?

(I wish we could just move over the interesting articles without having to call undue attention to them in the form of subtitles, titles and text; we could have more articles that way as per other on-line publications.) I think going back and adding to an article is not worth the effort as it's old news by then and most people will miss it.
