Advice Update

So, lots of people noticed the similarities between the Ask Amy and Dear Prudence columns that I posted about before. Some people thought it meant they were both fakes, and some people thought it was the same guy asking two different people to try and get two different answers. No one seemed to think that there was anything more nefarious going on, including Prudie herself:

"It is weird -- we've had duplicates before, but never the same question from the other party."

That was her answer to my email asking about the similarities. So apparently it's a non-issue. Damn. And I wanted to be in on some kind of scandal. Ah well. Maybe next time!
