an exchange of letters between the NYT ombusdman and me

While it's pretty obvious that the NYT isusing the wrong numbers, let's not
make the same mistake ourselves and buy into the outlandish estimates being
claimed by ANSWER.

--i don't know why answer went with a 500K number. 2-300 k sounded more
reasonable from other activists like david mcreynolds and others.  i hope
it's clear the 30 k number i referred to was marchers only. i went with the
over 100k number simply to make the point to Dicke (his real name) that even
assuming only a little more than last time, the argument he was making is
without foundation.
