Here is another article refuting much of what the author said.

So, am I guilty of a lemming like reaction? I don't know, maybe. I usually avoid internet scares but the fact the article was on AWN gave it weight. The referenced articles at http://www.illustratorspartnership.org/ and elsewhere are also clanging warning bells. Now I wonder. If it turns out I was wrong I'm going to kick myself in the butt. Is the house on fire or is somebody smoking crack in the bathroom - I wish to hell I knew.
