Is Stephen Karp good or bad for Nantucket? That's a question that the popular Nantucket Web site and forum, Yackon.com, just posed to its 1,288 members.
Eighty people responded to the very unscientific poll, with 27 percent saying he was good, 58 percent saying he was bad, and 13 percent saying "I don't know."
The Web site's host, Grant Sanders, posted the question after being interviewed by Daily News reporter Stephen Tait for a series of stories The Daily News is publishing about Karp this week. Karp is the largest landowner in both Newburyport and Nantucket.
Among the comments posted was this:
"Newburyport is lovely; but comparing it to Nantucket is like comparing a pad of butter to a dairy."
Ouch!
A dairy? The only similarities I see between Nantucket and a dairy is the unusually high levels of bullcrap.
I like the "Heard About Town" column, btw.

Didn't the Daily New used to have something simular, I believe it was called the Prattler.
Wow Stewie, you've been reading this paper for a very, very, very long time.
But yes, back in The Day (which Wikipedia officially identies as the period I was employed by the Daily News) we did have a similar device called the Prattler.
This was pre-Internet (at least for us) but Prattlers, a recent ancestor of The Blogger, became extinct sometime in the early part of this decade.
That's if you believe in evolution.
If you're an intelligent design person than I can ensure you'll find no intelligence here.
I'm glad it didn't die on your watch.
