Wall Street Journal article on benchmark hunting

[Wintertime 0]

It obviously refers to this forum, although it doesn't give the URL. I assume that some of the folks here were interviewed?

Love the license plate on Mr. Macomber's car!

 

I'm not a WSJ subscriber, so I can't post any follow-up comments--such as telling the person who said, "How hard can this be?" how inaccurate the BM locations on topo maps often are. :-(

I'm not sure everybody would want posted the translation between their screen name and real name, but if you follow the forum regularly you can make most of the connections.
