clearly one of those, although I would suggest that we can do better at
supporting reader choice, because it's really the reader we should be
putting in control of their own quest for information.
I am bound to disagree on the last point there. Our mission
is not to make choices or to enable choices by any party, in
terms of what is available. We make things available, and they
should *be* available. If people want to provide subsets of what
we provide, that is their affair. It isn't any part of our mission.
