The reason many people treat the current deletion process as having 
urgency is the same reason we get flak for stuff like the Seigenthaler 
article. Since we give readers little help in figuring out which of our 
articles are decent and which are junk, it shouldn't be surprising that 
some people have a strong urge to trash the junk when they see it.

Stable versions, please, any day now...
