Congratulations and best of luck to everyone at Slate, which is being purchased from Microsoft by the Washington Post Co. Let's hope the Posties pick up some of Slate's online savvy, and the Slatesters get the benefit of smart media owners. Any way you cut it, keeping a high-quality Web site going is not easy (I say that from intimate experience), and persuading another business to buy in represents a real achievement. We can assume everyone involved did this out of faith in Slate as a publication; if there is one certainty here, it's that Microsoft didn't sell Slate out of a need for extra cash.
