I sent an e-mail to the pbulic editor at the NY Times asking why the Times is 
using the descriptor "replacement referees" instead of the time honored 
"scabs".  

To my astonishment I got a response.  The full text is "Because that's what 
they are, replacement referees."

Of course my purpose wasn't honorable, but a 7th-grader working at the Times is 
a surprise.
