Of course I don't know exactly which irritating people you mean, but there is one senior poster in this mailing list who (very rarely) lapses into posting insulting replies -- and then suddenly returns to his usual pattern of providing very helpful and wise advice. I've wondered if perhaps he has a seizure disorder or maybe a problem with alcohol that overcomes him periodically. In any case, I always heed his advice when he offers it, and have found no reason to regret it -- yet :)

Of course I don't know exactly which irritating people you mean, i was referring specifically to the guardian article cited in the post i replied to, as i think should be clear from the part of the thread i quoted above my own post. most of what the author says about journalism is right. unfortunately it all applies to her, in reverse (i think to remember the author was a woman, i don't care to read it again to check). i'm sorry if people agreeing with the article feel offended by my harsh epithet, it was not my intention. but that's my opinion of the ideas in the article, nevertheless. best, lj
