And I also will not bust your chops over spelling or grammar. I always link when I can and it does feel strange when I can't, but after thinking about it, it seems that providing the link is not really part of crediting the source anyway. It's just become second nature for bloggers to provide the hyperlink. If the <i>Times</i> wants to take away that blogging convenience, it's not our fault. I just credit the source in the old fashioned way, and roll on. Quote away, Mark. And I also will not bust your chops over spelling or grammar.

It looks very bad right now - and when Morgan Stanley (a significant minority shareholder) is making noises about taking them private, well, you do the math. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/19/business/media/19times.html?ex=1303099200&en=e8c7efe2bf72ba71&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss Shareholders withheld 28% of their votes for the current board of directors. Yikes. After their recent annual shareholder’s meeting, you probably won’t have to wait too long to get that information free and clear again.
