Hi All,
The main problem with the Times' editing of Darryl's submission is that
they altered his factually correct letter into an inaccurate (or at
best,
misleading) one. The following sentences appeared in the Times' edited

A novel idea would be to publish what was ACTUALLY WRITTEN. Seems a
simple fix to me.
Since rebuttals are getting chopped up, sliced and diced, and edited
until they no longer convey the originally intended message, or worse
gets turned into a message which might reinforce NYT's own stance,
Exactly rightand truth be told, I was embarrassed. Janine had to calm me
down a bit this morning. ;-)
All they had to do was leave in the term hot deserts and it would have been

Anyway, thank you, Rob!

All this negative talk about the negative talk Adam, doesn't help
