In other words, "you" would be used to refer to "Lee Enterprises", your employer and the entity for which you are one of several public faces. It seems obvious that when someone refers to something done by your employer, the word "you" is in the plural, and it's just as obvious that when someone deliberately switches to "I didn't..." mode in such a situation that they are trying to be difficult. I've been posting as Francis to the Lee blogs for a long time, and I'm peeved that I can no longer be who I have always been, I must be someone else. What a fine sense of community it builds to have to change identities every few weeks! How soon will we all have to change again? Will it be worth the effort? I know what "musical ring tones" are, I've tried them, and I find them annoying and intrusive. If it's your means of having fun, you need to get out more.

So you're one of those people who annoy everyone within earshot when your phone explodes into loud annoying music "because you can do it". We get to listen to your choice of music at random times.
