	Somewhere between believing everything you read and giving
	the Washington Post the same credibility as the Enquirer
	there is a happy medium.  Mr. Ranum I think you are a few
	iterations short of hitting that happy medium. ;-)

	This is a plausible argument.  Sadly, many people will 
	not get this far because of the hyperbole in the first sentence.
	Honestly, the only thing worse than believing anything because you
	read it in the paper is believing nothing because you read it
	in the paper.
