It would be really nice if you would put links near these news stories, because many of them look like things I would like to read.

Good idea. My original message had links, but they became plain text in the transition to USENET. I'll try again below using rich text. If this fails, go to http://metaresearch.org/publications/bulletin/2007issues/1215/w2wtoc.asp, which is the "Table of Contents" page for the Meta Research Bulletin issue, and has active links for the same list of articles.
