I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult, but
I noticed you did forget to say "My employer said" so at least it's
probably not actionable by any latigous, animal crackers.

And in all my years running news, I never came cross fleming or
williams so I wouldn't know. Someone called me and made a Denniger
and an Auerbach reference. I like both Karls so I'll take that as
a compliment. Regardless, it's good to be alive for another day 
on the Internet becayse that's all it is - another day on the
Internet.

Best,
