Ah, but Wirt... in this case they weren't. The part that they quoted as a
quotation from me - taken out of context from Ron's article and no credit
given to the original author. In addition, the art of rewriting
summarizations that don't fit the original premise of the article is a
tactic called "yellow journalism" and in any journalism class that technique
is taught - but in the course that I had it was defined as an unethical
attempt at coercing the reader to view a particular article from a view that
was not the intent of the original author. Exactly what they have done in
this case. I urge you to re-read the "searchHP.com" summary (Ron posted it
to the group when it occurred) and then to reread the article. I think you
(of all people) will see the disparagement that occurred.
