Dr. Poor on HDTV

I almost missed it, but Uncle Alfred is quoted in the NYTimes' bits blog, discussing HDTV sales and changes in buying patterns (smaller sets have seen a rise in sales). The comments, though, are rather useless and outside of making the reader feel important, I really wonder why the Times allows them. (I don't.) And the Times refuses to refer to us Ph.D. people as "Dr.", which is exceedingly annoying (we earned it too, you know).
