No reason?? Get real.
Your own writing to this list betrays you. You need not exchange mail
with me to point out your flaws. However, I'll not argue with one such
as you over the topic. I encourage you and the others to merely review
the July archives of this mailing list for a bunch 'o examples by your
own pen (so to speak).
And you're right. There's probably a problem out there somewhere, but
you can't seem to grasp the technology, and we need a reporter who can
do that and explain it to the public at large. John Markoff does an
excellent job at doing just that. You could, too, but you need to
develop the understanding of the technology before you write
influential, misguided articles (to give you the benefit of the doubt as
to whether you are one of ``them'').
