Words of Wisdom

A reader points out some faux pas from previous post......my response follows:
Both points are well taken......
1. "no link" - correct......because the title of the op-ed piece - "a Beginner's......Foe" is adequate for anyone to jump to the NYTimes site (from sidebar) and bring up the piece by inserting title into its search engine.....
up till now i've purposely refrained from giving specific links for Times' articles (because if one is not registered the link will only lead to its registration sign up page) but on reconsideration - and i thank you for the provocation - i will ex post facto alter my modus operandus.......Thank you.
Post Script: interestingly, the NYTimes site shows no references to the subject op-ed piece, which appeared Dec 23rd. indeed if one goes on the site to a listing of its op-ed pieces there are none that can be brought up from that day. curious that there's a "blackout" for the day....could be ;-) that the Times itself is embarrassed for the piece and has imposed its own blackout....
2. as to the "hot air" I refrained in this instance from guilding the lily. so-to-speak, but you are correct in that the letter is amiss in not citing at least one example of what i was attempting to convey.
