It seems that WSJ.com does NOT have the confidence of a lot of people here. Now why on earth would that be?
People not wanting to talk to reporters? That doesn't say much for reporters' values and trustworthiness does it.
Journalists get special training in 'low life forms' and how to be one. Their versions of reality invariably bear only a passing association with the facts as known by people who actually KNOW the facts. They printed photos of "Irwin Jacobs" and "Colin Giffney" who just happen to be two people I know and the photos were NOT either of those two people. They get plenty of other factual material wrong too. Remember the joke on Time, which did the big cover story about male child prositutes in Russia several years ago? It was obvious to me at the time and subsequently proven to be a huge fake! So it is not just tabloids or gutter press which one should disbelieve. It is mainstream claimants such as Time and Wall Street Journal who also make up things, get things wrong, lie and distort.
Carrie Lee may interview me, use my real name, Mqurice and quote me. What about it Carrie? You want to try to rescue your reputation by writing a good article?
Mqurice
PS: In Belgium, keyboards are laid out AZERTY instead of QWERTY so when you type an 'a' you get a 'q'. I refused to relearn how to type in a new language so sent out my internal mail with q instead of a, to make a point about who should be changing their way of life to suit whom. I thought the computer should adapt to me and not the other way around. Okay, it's a bit like a marriage and you can't be too absurd about your own sacred way of life, but the systems people were arrogant and dismissive of the issue, happy in their arcane three-fingered typing world. I thought the computers should be crunched into submission.
Hence, Mqurice IS my real name and will remain so until computers do what I want and not what THEY want. With It[TM] looming, I might be on a losing wicket, in which case I shall loose my shackles from the computer world and retreat to a hut in Montana [or Eketahuna in my case]. |
