all recent, all commenting on the bad state of affairs for docs on free<br>
software, none of which mention FM. I think they just dont know of<br>
us...we really need to remedy this situation, so this is a call out to<br>
anyone on the list to post comments to each of these articles or write<br>
to the authors and bring their attention to what we are doing.<br>
