So in the paper publishing world, you're supposed to respond to defamation by
going around to every individual news-stand and corner store in the country
and individually notify them of it, and expect them to blithely throw out
their stock of the paper or magazine containing the objectionable article?

I'm sorry, but that's insane, and I don't believe it.
