And this is exactly what I said earlier when I sent my rebuttal to this
issue.  Nets are a reliable way to get information quickly and in most
cases more correct than what appears later in the print and electronic
media who more than likely chop the article to fit what space is
available.

The UPI Clarinet News Service was put over Usenet during the Persian
Gulf stuff and it was frequent and factual compared to what was recived
later.  When articles came up on the nightly TV news, I already knew
about the situation (in 99% of the cases) and could then devote my time
to something else.
