FWIW, Newsfactor is not a real "publication"; they are a news clearinghouse
for any random stringer* who wants to submit stories, and pay some tiny fee
per article (like, say, $30). As a result, their quality control is
non-existant.
Given that the reporter didn't contact us, we're lucky we got a mention at
all. If anyone can get the reporter's e-mail, I'd be interested in offering
our help for future articles. Please, everyone, remember that it is never,
ever, effective to criticize a reporter.
"sub selects" indeed! "We all query in a yellow database, a yellow database
...." (Actually, MySQL has reason to be ticked about this article as well,
they got subselects in 4.0)
* stringer = low-paid freelance reporter. Generally gets paid by the word or
line.
