I finally realized that this the Guardian writing about the 
Guardian, which probably explains why an article with so little 
actual content made it to press. There's almost more content in 
the headline than in the article.

You're right - one is definitely left wanting more; in fact, 
wanting anything at all! Since you are closer - literally - to 
this than most of us, please pass on a heads up when they 
announce more.

Meanwhile, I'm curious about how opinion is on the ground in the 
UK on the idea of "three accusations and you're out" as part of 
Lord Mandelson's plans. Although everyone thinkis of music files, 
I haven't seen anything that indicates that ebooks wouldn't fall 
under the same regime.

From this side of the Atlantic, it seems like it would be 
punishment without evidence, but in past decades I've heard some 
unusual things about where UK law is allowed to go.
