Walt Mossberg’s WSJ Column on Cookies

Walt Mossberg wrote this in the Wall Street Journal. So, here’s the email I sent him: Hi Walt, As a responsible journalist whose column informs, educates and inflences many non-techies about technology, I think you do a great disservice to your readers through columns like the 7/14 one on cookies.
