\"\"<\/a>The CEO of Hooked-on-Phonics(r), obviously a digital native, issued a global press release<\/a> highly critical of my article in the Huffington Post, Obama Practices Social Promotion<\/a>. I would have been more grateful if the press release honored traditional netiquette and linked to the article in dispute. I could use the eyeballs.<\/p>\n

After all, I was courteous enough to link to their<\/span> press release endorsing the nomination of Duncan in my article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The CEO of Smarterville, purveyor of Hooked-on-Phonics(R) even took the time to comment on my personal blog<\/a> urging all of you in bloggerville to participate in their philanthropic activities.<\/p>\n

I would however like to correct the Hooked-on-Phonics press release. They repeatedly refer to me as Mr. Stager, when I am Dr. Stager or Gary Stager, Ph.D. I did spend nearly 40 years practicing with flash cards in order to earn that doctorate. It would be a shame to waste it.<\/p>\n

Dear Santa:<\/p>\n

All I want for Xmas is comments on my Huffington Post article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I think I’ve been good, even if the Hooked-on-Phonics(R) folks think I’ve been naughty!<\/p>\n

Happy Holidays to All!<\/p>\n
