I’m taking a break from work today. I’ve been down with a cold since last Wednesday, and sitting in an office all day with the AC on isn’t really good for me. As soon as I step in there my nose stops up. So anyway, before I get in bed for some more rest, I thought I’d introduce another one of the agony aunt columns I read. This one’s Dear Margo, written by Margo Howard. It’s updated every Thursday and Friday at wowowow.com. I’ve been following Margo since she wrote Dear Prudence for slate.com (before the current one took over), and to be honest I’ve never much liked her advice. She’s a little too permissive – anything pretty much goes, and even when the writer is clearly an idiot she comes down very gently on them. Much of her advice is fine, just not as tough as I would like. Stylistic differences, maybe?
Pros: Has a comments part for readers to give their opinions.
Cons: Only comes out twice a week, advice a little too namby-pamby
