Right.  All in all, this WSJ article was the most visible and
correct article I've seen in the popular press, and this old market
share chestnut should earn a letter to the editor from someone who
can show it wrong, if for no other reason then to try to get a
letter to the editor in the PRINT version of the WSJ and keep FBSD
in news.  I was just about to fire off a private email to someone
when I stumbled on this thread.
