iP, great article. In another thread about the APS article by Ken Lawrence, Wt1 already posted a link to the NY Times article!

It's making other general news headlines, too, albeit off the NY Times report.

Here's one from Fox News:

Peter: my just deserts for running a personal boycott of that thread; I found the subject header gratuitously insulting.

Cheers,

Hold the phones, I think I have found the missing Jenny! It is here, listed on ebay, and you can pick it up for the low price of only $70.00. Add in the $100k reward and you stand to make a handsome profit!

You have to wonder how that ebay seller came up with a "Catalog Value of $425" for the item, too.

They even have a bid! I expecially like the back where they removed the facsimile marking.

Sorry, IP. I agree fully with you on that heading. I figured that by now the poster would have seen how bad an insult this is and edited it. Especially in the light that no one else seems to object to the article!

Peter: Words to live by: "Ignore an SCF thread at your own risk." While posts can be edited for 24 hours, I think that topic headers can never be edited. Meanwhile, I took solace in that delicious misspelling of "stupidity". Cheers,
