I just crossed my four-year anniversary, and while I can't speak to the beginning, the culture hasn't really changed much in my time here.
I thought you were here longer than that. I think the culture has changed. The Seigenthaler incident was a big turning point in that. After that the rule bound control freaks seem to have become more dominant. We had to respond to Seigenthaler, but in the process we ended up with a lot of unnecesarily restrictive procedures.
