It's amazing isn't it.
It reminds me of golf the 1960's, when Arnold Palmer was winning a lot of
tournaments. He revived a huge interest in the game, & was lauded in the
press. So much so, that to the average American knowing nothing about
golf, they thought that *he* had actually invented the game!
So it just goes to show what the press & ignorance on behalf of teh
average person can do.
