...if it will be carried into the hundreds of webpages, blogs, for a already reproducing the NYT arcticle.
Most of them have a possibility to add a comment,
hence with the help of the list members...


Here in Germany, the article hasn't any effect yet, was only given in a geology/science blog.

Huh imagine Alex, the newspaper with the highest-circulation is my home newspaper, the SZ, they have a cooperation with NYT, giving each Monday a selection of NYT-times articles on several pages.
Lucky me, that they hadn't taken over that article (was only one printed one about goldilocks exoplanets).
I mean, imagine my neighbours pointing with the finger on my, telling that here comes the drug lord?

..only because that lazy Mr.Broad forgot all principles of journalism and delivered a piece, each and every trainee would have done more diligently and at a higher quality standard.

Skol

Anyway, I would certainly agree to Geoff Notkin, who wrote: "even the edited version helps get the point across", regarding Daryll Pitt?s letter to the NYT. Thanks, Daryll!

This is important! You most certainly can?t circumvent or obviate editing, but it is good to have a good argument made available to the public, who can then put it into some more subtle perspective for themselves.

Anne has done a very sophisticated job with her rebuttal, but don?t expect to have that printed by the NYT. This great rebuttal will take effect in a more profound sense elsewhere, I?m sure.

Best,
Alex
Berlin/Germany
