Oh, Jay, ease up, fer cryin' out loud. The riots are the top story on
the front pages of both of Canada's national newspapers; photos, at
least, made the front page of [my editions of] the New York Times and
the Washington Post; was the topic of the day in most of the chat
rooms and IRC channels I monitor; and when I flipped on CNN during
prime time (EDT) Tuesday night, CNN was running a long piece about
the riots with lengthy interviews from labour leaders as well as
representatives of corporate America.
Your criticism of the under-reporting of ICANN made a lot of sense
but this time around . . . .
