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.
