The above being said, it does seem that "the media" often gets facts wrong, mangles things they don't understand and leaps to conclusions as if it's an Olympic event at times.
Skip always seems like a decent guy in his replies, I doubt he was trying to rankle anyone purposefully. If the linked-to article or comments contained errors, it's hardly his fault for pointing that out.

I can see your point about highlighting.
My concern was, and still is, that some readers that did not read Skip's post would think Skip put some of the words in bold, which could be considered insulting to some readers. I saw no insult or ill intent in any of Skip's posts. That is my main point.
Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year to you and yours!
