I buy ARG and Fanfare for the disk reviews and interviews -- not the
occasional editorial.  It's thus not often I read Mr.  Vroon's words and I
don't know what caused me to this time -- but I agree with Kevin.  Powerful
and sensible stuff indeed -- would that more media types took a balanced
view between responsibilities and privileges of the press (in the widest
sense).  Read it if you can -- it's thought-provoking stuff.
