Dear businesses that pay writers: Please cease your inexorable march to universal deployment of "the invoice method" pronto. If I did something for you, I generally don't appreciate having to remind you that you owe me money for it. It's rude and is clearly built on the logic that a piece someone doesn't tell you they require payment for is hence a piece you don't have to pay for. It's bullshit and you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Sincerely, Hack.
