But that isn't what the article I'm criting is about. So I think you're on the wrong track. How about offering your own opinion on the article. Is it a valuable contribution to the debate, offering fresh new opinion and insight, or is it a useless pile of dingoes kidneys?William M.

Nice people like E&E News aren't supposed to. Aren't they supposed to be the guardians and watchdogs of truth?
