Jud writes \”The egregious Nicholson \”automation-is-a-money-pit\” Baker burps and gets into mass market at The New Yorker, while correctives to his hysteria, like the fine one in First Monday by Richard J. Cox (firstmonday.org), languish in relative online obscurity.
Nicholson still doesn\’t realize that automation is the key to his dream: guaranteeing preservation of last copies. For a much earlier– and tongue-in-cheek–reply to Baker (I submitted it to the New Yorker, but for some reason they didn\’t run it) see \”Malodorous Catalog\” at librarians.freeservers.com \”
