At leaste one person (me) who didn't know the list existed, found it 
because of the the Strib article. I don't think either the list or the 
Strib need to worry about the other.  They really are two very different 
animals - one an electronic version of the backyard fence, part gossip, 
part news etc. and the other a big city newspaper whose credibility 
comes from covering a broad range of  issues fairly.  (How well they 
have succeeded in that is a matter of opinion.)

PS - I found the list without an "info-box how to" in the article.  It's 
not really that hard.
