Ha ha! Good find.
I hope markm49ukhas been suitably reimbursed for 'his' photos being published in a national newspaper.

One member who I used to speak to on AIM was quoted by the Wall Street Journal I believe.

I've seen other places quote members. I think a news source or something quoted two MacRumors members in response to the 802.11n Enabler fee or something like that.
