@mm43 - Cheers, I did Google it last night. It's actually a comment on the blog IIRC, but I looked up the guys profile and he seems to know what he's on about. I don't know where the first one came from though.
@jcj - One of the fundamental things that my history teacher taught me about critical thinking is that most information is useless unless you have at least some idea of its provenance. By copy/pasting verbatim, Winnerhofer is making it very hard to ascertain the value of the info being posted.
Also, for people reading the forums who aren't regulars (remember that journalists do tend to prowl here from time to time), it won't be at all clear that WH is in fact copy/pasting. This is why we have a [QUOTE] function.
