I deleted this message because it is obviously a newspaper article that has been copy-pasted here, without attribution. If the person who started this thread wishes to identify himself or herself and give proper attibution, he or she is welcome to post the article again. In my opinion, it is fraudulent to post a newspaper article and give the impression it was posted by the author. The usual procedure is to post the article with attribution, and then to include your own opinion of the article and add questions to start a discussion. There is no reason why we should allow Mudcat to become a repository for copy-pasted newspaper articles. -Joe Offer-
