Athens Ear Buds (final/Feb. 9, 2010)

Since launching the "new and improved" Athens Ear Buds on Feb. 4, we've received one, count 'em, one, online/video Athens Ear Bud in response to my e-mailed invitation to former contributors to participate. Why is that? I'm pretty sure it's the phenomenon that occurs when you ask a group to do something, but don't make the request to individual group members, or fail to put someone in charge. Everybody assumes someone else will do the task, and then, of course, it doesn't get done. I do have one serious request, however. If I ever propose to resurrect Athens Ear Buds in any form, please feel free to dip me in chloroform and pin me to a cork board.
