 * Do we get a wooden tilt-and-swivel chair, a green banker's lamp and an eyeshade? All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 11:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC).


 * the signpost spends over half its budget on things like that, I believe, so you can take your pick of office furniture from the latest high-end catalogue. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:35, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Where exactly is the slack in the line? In copy-editing or article writing? – ♠Vami _IV†♠  13:08, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Across the board actually. I wrote three columns/features myself, co-wrote several more, copyedited, and managed production as acting E-in-C. Our regular writers double as their own copyeditors. "In the media" takes significant research and got left on the floor. No WMF News which (ideally) should be a copy/paste. There are submissions that need help writing for our house style. Etc... ☆ Bri (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Alright. How do I sign on? – ♠Vami _IV†♠  12:17, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * We created this Quick Start just for people like you. So glad to see you joining! ☆ Bri (talk) 14:28, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Another wonderful issue by The Signpost team and contributors. I always look forward to each issue and also look forward to contributing in the future. Cheers. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 12:05, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


 * "If you can spare some time to help in the Newsroom, we would appreciate seeing new people there." Clearly not true, judging from the response I had when I went there to help. And I'm not talking about the decision to publish that piece, I'm talking about the personal attacks from one of the EiCs. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:16, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's a surprise that the Signpost is struggling to attract assistance these days given the appalling editorial judgment displayed in this issue and the lack of a formal apology. Perhaps it's time to retire the Signpost if this is what it's descended to. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 09:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * , hello there! We are (or at least I am... I'm mostly speaking for myself) working very hard here at the Signpost to improve our content and potentially issue a full retraction for the next issue. Given that we are a monthly, a response really should be reckoned for then. You're feedback is certainly going to be taken into account as we write it. Thank you for reading, &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 02:39, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * I would like to see writers limit The Signpost to matters pertaining to Wikipedia rather than be used a forum for one's opinions about what's going on in the world. Less is usually better, especially on Wikipedia. Having said that, I rarely read it and would care little if it stopped production.
