Tony - I realize I'm taking a line out of context and quoting it back to you but I have issues with your statement above. I think I understand your intent here but this seems to leave top-flight humor, satire, sarcasm and the like out of the Medium mix. At Doctor Funny, the pub I founded, run and edit, many specifically do NOT want substance and deeper understanding. They, and I, don't mind if they find it on DF's pages but they just want to laugh, or be distracted, or have a good time or poke fun at someone or something or have that done for them. Laughter, and all its many variants, is the best medicine and there's got to be room on Medium for its strong presence with a corresponding strong support by the people working for Medium. Please LMK your thoughts on this. Thank you, Michael
