Why isn't Ed Zotti listed with Reader staff?

Factual Questions
1

I debated where to put this question, and settled on GQ since it’s a (hopefully) fact-based question.

When I first moved to Chicago a few years ago, I picked up a Reader and took a gander at the staff box, hoping to see Ed’s name there under the list of editors, so that I could say “Hey! I know (of) that guy!”

Alas, he wasn’t there. And he’s not listed in the online staff box of editors either.

So, Ed, why’d you get left out?

I’m an independent contractor. It’s like being Francois Mitterand’s mistress. You can be in bed with somebody for 30 years and you still don’t get official recognition.

4

So, who is Ed in bed with? The Chicago Reader, or Cecil Adams?

5

Wouldn’t that come under the “don’t ask, don’t tell” rule?

6

Your options suggest the possibility of Onanism.

7

Well, on the plus side, you’re still Francois Mitterand’s mistress. So you’ve got that going for ya!

8

Why can’t it be both?
