So there is no remaining confusion for forum readers: I wrote an exact date because that's the date that appears on the cover of the periodical being quoted. The citation was correct, though I agree it need not have been so terse. (Substantially the same thing, regarding "creeping featurism," can now be found here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1884539,00.asp.) Michael - I did suspect that your original post meant to mock what you thought was my error. You didn't say, for example, that you thought there was a typo; you wrote a cryptic jibe. If that was meant to assist forum readers, that clears it up.
