Nice example showing why it's sometimes a hard problem for us foreigners to decode what is meant. The original reads > Hard Problems Moves to Television <. If the title of this post here would read > "Hard Problems" Moves to Television < it would be easier guessing what the author wanted to address.

not sure that I see the subtlety - either I'm a bad example of a "foreigner" or I miss the point altogether. Anyway it's an interesting piece of news, thanks for posting it.

Egan's title originally did not have the quotes, he put those in after Walter's comments. Making the "Hard Problems" thread a hard problem to follow? [sorry, couldn't help myself :-)].
