I commented at some blogs which ran the Wal-Mart story that we don’t know what caused it and there are lots of possibilities.

Frank Ahrens acts as if Wal-Mart declaring it was a “mapping” problem is a clear and conclusive explanation.

Remember that many newspaper people view blogs and the Internet in general as competing media. It’s like someone from Wal-Mart writing about K-Mart.

In the boxing biz, the twin decline of both newspapers and boxing has led to many talented, veteran boxing writers being let go. Many of the remaining staffers also write for boxing web sites. But I am perhaps the only one in the Boxing Writers Association of America to have a regularly updated blog.

The Washington Post left out the part about what happens when the kook with the sign ends up being the owner of the Washington Post or NY Times, or worse yet, the wife of the Chairman of CNN.

Absolutely, Michael, that’s precisely the point: We’re all human.

We should also stipulate that both are capable of spreading misinformation.

I initially bought the company’s side, as I understand the technology a bit, but then I read that this was discovered in October.

It took them 3 months to not fix it?
