Excuse me, Michael?  I think you should apologize to the list for that 
remark, that's just unacceptable behavior.

The New York Times jumped the embargo.  I have no idea why.  They were 
given the embargo very clearly the same as everyone else.  I already 
complained to them and we had to scramble tonight to open up 3 hours early.

In the wiki world we have a saying "Assume Good Faith".  What it means 
is, when something goes wrong, probably the first thing to assume should 
not be "You lied".  Jeez.

Get some sleep my friend, you're grumpy.  :-)
