Ed, Oboy. I said I would not get into a debate--and I won't. But consider this rhetorical question. What are the leading journalists and the journalism profession doing to deal with all of the fraud and shortcomings in that profession which affect us all--far more than the 1% of the profession who stutters? I assume here that you do consider yourself to be a member of the journalism profession, but I could well be incorrect. Answer that question comprehensively. Then do it for lawyers, social workers, chiropractors, bankers, military officers, auto mechanics, etc. I dare say you'll know why the problems you list exist. Will that fix them? No. While I support our code of ethics and do my best to abide by it, I have chosen to try to shed some light here and there where I feel I can make a positive contribution. I've decided it is not much use to me or to anyone else to curse the darkness. You may disagree. Ken
