SINCE THE RELAUNCH OF OUR Web site a few weeks ago, we’ve received a bunch of great — and sometimes even funny — comments from our readers out there in the World Wide Web. Here is a sampling of some of the most recent comments. Some may have been edited for space or clarity.

“Very informative story! In our efforts to provide free jazz concerts to the public while promoting the rich cultural history of the African-American community in Atlantic City, I hope you don’t mind that I mention our Web site www.chickenbonebeach.org. If you enjoyed this story, please become a supporter!” — Submitted by Jim Zombeck, VP of Chicken Bone Beach Historical Foundation Inc., on the Aug. 20 feature “Still Telling the Story”

“When will we as a society equally exploit men? I say it’s about time! Also, wondering why AC Weekly all of the sudden wants to get a rep as a ‘men’s’ mag; I always thought it was a great source for things to do at the Jersey shore. I guess now it's about girly bars and sex?” — Submitted by “Anonymous,” on the “Ms. AC Weekly Bikini Contest Winner” video

“Awesome! Wish I could have been there! Hope other people post their vids.” — Submitted by Ed M., on the “AC Air Show” video

“Whitney, as a 20-something professional, I can completely relate. When I worked for a college, I felt people often judged me and didn’t take me seriously. Before getting to know me, students or colleagues would sometimes assume I was a student. They didn’t realize, at first, that I was a professional (even when wearing my suit) and that I actually really did know something — and even had my Master’s. I proved myself to them very quickly and often surprised them by how much I knew and how helpful I really was. Judgments and preconceived [notions] are so difficult to escape. You’re right though: People must learn not to judge too quickly. Great work!” — Submitted by “Anonymous,” on the Aug. 13 column of “The ‘F’ Word.”

“Thanks so much for the review of the American Idol 2009 tour. I do agree that Adam Lambert is the real deal.” — Submitted by Paula C., on “Idol Mania,” the Aug. 8 online-only review of the American Idols show at Boardwalk Hall.

“Hey Pinky: Can I see the Air Show while playing tennis in Ventnor?” — Submitted by “Anonymous,” on the Aug. 13 column of “Pinky’s Corner” pertaining to the Atlantic City Air Show.
