Sometimes I wonder if the people who complain about the paper in “30 Seconds” actually take the time to read it.

That may sound like a mean thing to say, but after reading the online version of “30 Seconds” yesterday, I almost wanted to cry. I was left wondering if some of the posters take the time to read the paper before they post about what is or is not in it, or if that would seem like a waste of time.

After weeks of work and countless stories on the possible change of Sherburne’s ambulance service from a volunteer based service to a municipal based service, there were still comments in “30 Seconds” saying “if it was in the paper, I didn’t see it.”

Well, in fact it was in the paper. Not just once or twice, but multiple times. To date, I have personally written seven articles on the topic, (six since the beginning of the year) and while I don’t expect everyone to read everything in the paper, I don’t think I would complain about a lack of articles on a topic if I hadn’t bothered to look for them first.

That’s one of my newest pet peeves, and hearing the misguided opinions some people have about these topics has created it.
