I realise that Julie was chosen because she could stand up to Lynda and hold
her ground but she would not have been considered if she had been fired. I
don't think that Lynda is the sort of person who will fire someone and then
not mention it the next time she sees the person she fired. I imagine that
only after along battle would Lynda submit to the fact that Julie would be
good for the job if she had on another occasion decided that Julie no longer
deserves to be a part of the Junior Gazette at all. However as I have not
seen "Shouldn't I be Taller" I am not the person to make judgements about
what happened in that episode. It would be like an American making
judgements about whether Australia should become a republic or not (which is
what one of my pen friends did)

Your probably right. I guess it is because I liked Sam better (I loved her
stories about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc.) I also liked the way she
interacted with Kenny. She would never have voted against Kenny in an
election if Colin was the other candidate.
