“Quote Boxes” always gets us thinking.
The latest puzzle is no different.
It includes comments from a popular newspaper columnist, a rakish restaurateur, and an acclaimed—if controversial—photographer.

@karisummers77 Oh no! That’s not good. I’m happy to help you with this.
Sorry for not responding to your DM earlier, but I never got notice of it.
I recently saw a note that we need to create yet another password in order to use DM/chat here, which seemed stupid.
So I ignored it.
My bad!
