<p>The reporter is quite a good technology reporter, in my view; and
I see the Globe as a pretty high quality newspaper. I suspect

the term "<em>skeptics</em>" ("The skeptics say that by the
1970s, e-mail as we know it today was routinely used"). We
are not "<em>skeptic</em>", we know that S.A.'s claims are <em>wrong</em>.</span><br data-mce-bogus="1">
