While I disagree strongly with David Burt's viewpoint, hw did the right
thing by announcing the article.  Modesty has nothing to do with it. 
When my book came out a year and a half ago I sent out announcements
about it to the lists I participate in.  Yes, that is self-promotion but
there is nothing wrong with that. I don't care if there is a grass roots
movement behind the Filtering Facts organization or not.  We must all be
kept informed on this issue and the MSNBC column was a very well written
one.  Lets stop whining about so-called "self-promotion".  After all,
listservs and webpages are the biggest vanity presses ever.
