Found this on the PPOD thread on Yahoo. "Shorty Rules of Conduct." Provides an amusing read... messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com

Greg, I don't think the placement of CKFR in the article was intentionally to minimize CKFR - for a couple of reasons: 1. In the hardcopy version, CKFR is at the top of a new column, with lots of white space surrounding it (perhaps accidental), but more importantly #2: 2. I also read the Yahoo thread on CKFR. Several months ago, there was a regular contributor (whose screen name I have forgotten). This person asked insightful and important questions, and also made informative contributions occasionally. After several weeks (months?) of this, she identified herself, including her name, as a reporter for USA Today, and indicated that she would write an article on electronic billing and payments for the Money section of USA Today sometime soon. She said she would let us know (although she didn't). I presume that this is the same person. She was clearly impressed by the thread and the wealth of good information that was discussed. And she clearly was interested in using EBBP herself. I suspect that this article was the result. Her timing was excellent, given the large amount of new information available in the last few days.!
