Paul Colford,
I appreciate that you took the time to respond. I could reply to each of your points specifically, which would lead each of us to clarify our language, but would not address the larger, more significant points. Do you acknowledge that the AP has served to reduce competition among newspapers in general, and more specifically competition on the basis of content? Do you agree with the U.S. Supreme Court that lack of real competition among wire services is unhealthy for democracy? Are you concerned that your members no longer provide what seems to their readers to be exclusive content because audiences can now get the same stories from multiple outlets on the Internet?
