Two last comments on the Lott business. First, there is a reasonably good summary by Tim Noah in Slate, http://slate.msn.com/id/2078084/
Second, a private email pointed out that in my deeply cynical post on Lott, my reference to the Lott discussion was about the whole dispute, much of it on web logs, not just the Armchair discussion. So my post very misleadingly sounded like an attack on Bill Dickens, the only critic of Lott on the list. It was not intended as such, because the criticisms Bill makes of Lott are fair, although I think overstated. My apologies.
