Re: NY Times Review

Decent review, but what is with calling everyone "mister" over and over again
throughout the article. Very annoying and repetitious. The NY Times should
be publishing better, or someone should have told this writer that the
technique, for whatever he was going for, didn't work. >>
That is their official newspaper stylebook. Everyone is called Mr. or Ms.,
not just by their last names. It is not just in the Style section either, it
is everywhere. It is actually quite funny sometimes, for example many years
ago when the reviewed the Sex Pistols and kept referring to Mr. Rotten and
Mr. Vicious.
