Nope, if most like it and view it, it stays.  If they don't, it leaves

One to go folks, one to go.

Mike:  This week's submission must have set a new low since it never saw the light of day?  Truth be told, I wondered (entirely out of pure morbid curiosity) to see if the column would end on a high note and finally conform to a publishable standard. 

Look for it Friday.  I may have been a bit premature, there are a couple to go.
