And of course some off-topic ranting. The original WSJ article shows how 
easy it is to put together a newspaper article of people's gripes. Which 
is not that surprising after eight and a half years of Wikipedia. But no 
way does it do a good job of identifying what is going on, in terms that 
stand up to analysis. And I mean something intermediate between sweeping 
generalisations and anecdotal evidence.

Anyone else feel that Mr. Murdoch's little list beginning "1. Trash 
Google rather than actually noindex News Corp's pages" has Wikipedia as 
alternate new source somewhere on it?
