Good Ratings

I got an email from one of my editors this morning, which was a bit of heartening news:

"Brent [Creelman, web editor] sent me the June xtra.ca stats about pageviews, and the most viewed story in June was your barebacking column. So thanks! And congratulations!"

Apparently, sex does sell--err, would sell, if this wasn't a free paper. Interestingly enough, in the current edition of Capital Xtra, some of the letters to the editor are devoted to this op-ed, despite the fact that it didn't wind up in the print edition. (Said letters were also derived from the "Comments" on the web version, but such is the age of mulitmedia). I'm glad that the piece got such a good response because I think it is an important issue that deserves attention.
