	Hmm...sounds like someone who knows not of which Mark Schneider
reports.  When talking about the internet, where better to get
information but the people who know about it and use it.

	Only an idiot would report news based on reports he has not verified.
Now, while Mark has yet to report on my web site (to the best of my
knowledge, at least) while CanWest and CBC have, he is no idiot.  :-)
