It's a quote, Jim, not our perspective. Also, while NAA didn't provide any results at UBS, we have reported on consortium results mentioned during various earnings calls and other presentations; those show some positive returns from the initial efforts although a quarter or two doesn't make a trend and the heavy lifting is yet to come. I expect more details when the newspaper companies present later this week. We'll keep you posted. (BTW, re the "glowing content"—that should give some folks at Yahoo a good laugh.)
