    The timbre of this entire thread against the legitimate frustrations expressed by that poor woman in her email is just further evidence of Jalopnik's shoddy approach to cotomer sevis...

    You guys missed the obvious cries for love and attention. She wasn't criticizing the article, instead she was, in her awkward "I haven't figured out I'm a lesbian" way, trying to get Ray's attention because she is trying to prove to herself that she's straight.


    It's sad, really. And I think that you could have helped her open the door to her sexuality, and helped her take the first steps to coming out.


    I guess she'll just have to keep avoiding her love of appliances and Subaru's for a little longer.

    The Segway's a really cool piece of technology that's no better in practical use than a bicycle, but costs ten times as much. It makes you look like a dork, and it doesn't mix well with street traffic, or with pedestrians on sidewalks. Otherwise, knock yourself out.

    I see that the heartclicks have been restored. The reply button works again. The preview button is all but a forgotten memory.


    The only thing that hasn't been fixed is my star. How much do you pay this comment admin guy? Pete, you wanna fix this problem?


    Anyway, maybe Danielle confused the Segway with something else, something cyindrical. Maybe she meant that was the easiest thing to ride.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Worry not dear friend. There is a certain nobility in lingering gracefully in the purgatory that lies in between stardom and disemvowelment. So, venture on brave Jalop. Seek your fortunes amidst those who have heart-clicked you and those you have heart-clicked. Raise your Jalop-scotch to those whose words were more brilliant than your own on any given day.
    In the name of Wert, and of Gaines, and the Burberry Banhammer... Amen.

    Dunno about you guys, but I always refrain from commenting on things which I have been unable to re-engineer or re-imagine into a superior product or service.


    For example, since I have not been able to develop a metropolis better than New York City and its fine, upstanding, and charmingly personable inhabitants, I shall no longer publicly opine as to why I feel the place is a cesspool.

    Dear Ray,


    Okay, I get it.


    You just don't care about me anymore, Ray.


    It used to be that you had no end of wiseass remarks to my comments, and I knew that all was well in the world. But then, one day, they stopped. They just completely stopped. Cold turkey. No matter how many times I set myself up for you to clown me, my attempts went unanswered.


    Now I see why. You have abandoned me in favor of this Danielle.


    It's okay, Ray. I forgive you. I don't need your wiseass remarks to boost my self-confidence anymore. Not when there are dozens of other fish in the ocean like Dearthair, engineerd, Jo Schmo, Syrax, and countless others. Pete Gaines occasionally gets a good one off, too.


    So consider this a Dear Ray letter. From now on, we're just friends. No more tomfoolery. Just friends. And I say that with all the love of a Dragoned R8, because truly, Ray, your wit has been the light of my day since 2005.


    Looking back on it all, Ray, you honestly are the reason that I felt it worth signing up for a commenting account. But in the end, I think this is for the best. You must find some other new guy to make feel welcome with a wiseass repartee.


    And at the end of the day, we'll always have a friendship that will span the centuries. And Dragons. And clap-infected koalas.


    With much love,


    Your friend pauljones.

    I was just giving Ray a chance to clown me just for kicks. Back when Bumbeck and Lieberman were still here, Ray wrote more frequently as a result of not having to worry as much about running the site as a whole, and I always enjoyed reading his posts. I was just trying to troll a response out of him.

    Danielle, Jalopnik's a brilliant cross of news and humour that, until you are able to produce a blog as comparable if not better, I would reserve comment/opinion if I were you. You sounded foolish. That's just my 2 cents worth.


    Mind you, the Segway's far more fun than it has any right to be, it's just completely useless.

    To this day, the only Segway rider I've ever seen has been the mall rent-a-cop at the upscale outdoor mall in our area. And most of them ride the faster and more stable (and I assume cheaper) 3-wheeled standup scooters.
