While there are a number of reporters on this list, they seem to
rarely take quotes from this list. I can think of only one publication
which has. Most of the information in the BBC story was available from
tradtional reporting sources such as press releases, press conferences
and individual interviews. At most a few news stories indicated ISPs
had some prior notice, but didn't indicate how they received that notice.
Even though Paul gave us a heads up on Friday night, no traditional news
source had any coverage of the issue until after the press release hit
the wires on Monday.
