You are the last person on the planet I would think would bother to keep count of anonymous references in a piece. Are you OCD...or just previously burned? And Jack....did you actually say this: "Also, on-the -record quotations are easier to verify than anonymous ones."? I'm going to write that one down. Great insight. There's no foolin' you, Jack. You da pro! You betcha. Jack Shaffer analyzing Palin palaver! Heady stuff. Reuters sure is getting its investment back! Must you go on? Please don't on my account.
