Subtraction by addition?

CHRON SCRIBE LISA FALKENBERG announces "I'm back"* from her maternity leave. Unlike Dai Huynh, who was sent packing by Chron management after her maternity leave, Falkenberg gets to stay**.

The Chron web team apparently just recently noticed she was gone, putting a notice on their columnists page. We're not sure if many readers noticed at all.

* With particular emphasis on "I" of course.
** Double standard, or just a double whammy for readers? You decide.
