This is a Public Announcement.
Here at QuantumBones we hold the quality of our work as our highest goal. Without any false modesty, I think I can air the claim that we are in the business of creating the Ultimate Website. In recent weeks, however, we have become increasingly concerned at the low bar set by some of our writers, particularly those who seem content to churn out generic random articles that we fear will leave our reading public with a bitter taste in their mouths, and an unpleasant, burning aroma in their nasal cavities.
Take the following articles as an example: this and this both appear at first glance to be quite different articles, but upon closer inspection it becomes obvious that should you change a few letters, a few words, a couple of sentences and a number of paragraphs, along with the accompanying image, you are left with EXACTLY the same article. Whether the author didn’t expect us to notice is an insult to our skills as editors, our positions within the organisation and the big bucks we are paid.
Unless a marked improvement is made we will face no choice but to offer a severe, and we do mean severe, reprimand, up to and including a public flogging. Such is the love of our craft and for you, the reading masses.
We will look to ensure a reduction in the number of articles referencing swimming pools and alpenhorns. Please be assured that we mean this. Here at QuantumBones we rarely make idle gestures.
You can be sure we will take all steps necessary to maintain the good name of this publication, both now and retroactively.
