Mark Horton raises an interesting point: can an article that resides simultaneously in computer memories all over the world be said to be "in writing"? Those of you who are interested in the legal implications should look up the series of cases beginning with Chicken v. Ham (the "Gramophone Libel Case") reported some years ago in _Punch_ by A. P. Herbert.
