Meta note:
Please be careful to give accurate attribution to posted comments. The
above makes it look like I said "It's not just the Times' fault..."
when my comment begins at "Well to be fair..."  The problem is
bi-dualistic: 1) whoever did write something isn't credited/faulted,
and 2) whoever didn't write something is credited/faulted.

Regards,
Steven
