Here, But Gone
The story of Lynne Spalding's death touches a chord with readers: I'm so touched by this account and cannot believe what I just read ["Into the Void," Jonah Owen Lamb, feature, 11/5]. I'm horrified. Sad. Disgusted. I literally need to give myself a timeout — I'm so angry. And that's nothing compared to what her family and friends have going on in their hearts and minds. I hope someday they can find some peace. I'm not sure I could.

Another reader says there is no excuse for the way SFGH handled her disappearance: If one hospital employee had actually looked for her and opened the door a few feet from her room — so obvious it is ridiculous — he or she would have found her in minutes. Instead nobody did the job employees are paid to do and she died right outside that door. This article is rife with excuses. There is no excuse for what happened to this woman and I am certain [what happens to] many others at urban hospitals all over this nation. It is an embarrassment and a disgrace.

Sports Bar Holiday
Point of column seems overtly obvious to one reader: What I gathered: If I'm not into large crowds cheering for a big game, avoid sports bars with large crowds cheering for the big game ["Big Game Hunting," Benjamin Wachs, Distillations, 11/5]. Will do.

Bon Apetit's Andrew Knowlton is too kind about San Francisco's dining scene: Knowlton is being polite ["Talking San Francisco Restaurants With Bon Appetit's Resident Foodist Andrew Knowlton," Trevor Felch, SFoodie, 11/6]. What New York has that S.F. doesn't includes Caribbean, regional Chinese (lots of regions), great Greek, terrific Italian (remember Herb Caen bemoaning the lack of a great Italian restaurant? things haven't changed), and many other ethnic cuisines. He is right that San Francisco has been setting the trend in ingredients and cocktails. He could have added coffee and ice cream.

Home, home on the San Francisco Golden Gate Park grounds: I just saw the bison a few weeks ago for the first time. I was amazed ["Oldest Bison Dies at Golden Gate Park," Erin Sherbert, the Snitch, 11/5]. Sad to hear she died.

Reader feels the endorsement was justified native advertising: I'm all for figuring out where the money in politics goes, but this article is ridiculously sensationalist ["Candidate Running for BART Board Buys Bold Italic Journalist's 'Endorsement'," Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, the Snitch, 11/4]. Online publications have been writing sponsored content since their invention, and magazines and even newspapers have been doing the same thing since long before that (gasp, even The New York Times). This is clickbait journalism.
