Here’s a brilliant analysis, in graphical form, of the “Science News Cycle,” some of which may be in effect here.

Let it go, Dag? Are you kidding? I might be, at best, an amateur historian, but I do so hope I'm a genuine member of the " Internet cabal of SIGCIS 'historians' "!
I've never been in a cabal before, but I doubt cabal members let things go. We must do something cabal-ish.
... if we know what that would be.

If you were to start critiquing items appearing in the HuffPo, you would have a lifetime of work ahead of you.
Fortunately for us, their very name reeks of triviality and marginal journalism—even a high school student wouldn’t cite them in a paper.
Let it go…

HuffPo is now claiming that everyone else -- they even mention SIGCIS -- are the ones with the agenda and conspiracy!

Hi:
Techdirt has an article "Why Is Huffington Post Running A Multi-Part Series To Promote The Lies Of A Guy Who Pretended To Invent Email?”
