I suspect, ferrari, that you ARE Lombardi.  Are you writing his material under a pen name?  You seem somewhat defensive.  Even if it were you that was being critiqued, I'd counsel taking the input, keep what's useful, and leave the rest.

I have distant ties to Lamboghini but not Lombardi.  Still, I find it comical when a critic lambasts one for grammatical and stylistic errors and commits the same in the same critique.  But I repeat myself.  But I am saying the same thing again.  But then no one will pay me for writing this so I can repeat myself with out fear of criticism.

If Lombardi were posting on a message board his poor writing and jumping to conclusions wouldn't bother me nearly as much.  The part that bothers me is that he has a real job as a reporter but still writes like he's posting on a message board.  If we were all being paid to write and research Stanford football as our full time jobs, maybe we could hold ourselves to a higher standard. 

Actually, the standard for posts on this board are pretty damn high already, especially compared to most forums or blogs  ;D
