I could be wrong, but it certainly seemed to me as if the entire article was probably based on that "hurried check" by the "Rock Island Googlemeister." But then, this is hardly the first time someone has published almost complete foolishness about DS because they haven't bothered to really check the facts. And sadly, it certainly won't be the last - particularly on the Internet, where inaccurate articles are epidemic.
Remind me never to use the word "moribund". It's a pseudo-intellectual way of putting something down for being old and therefore irrelevant (I think)
Simply saying DS is old and irrelevant wouldn't be as bad as what I think he's really trying to say. In its classic sense referring to something as moribund means it's in a dying state, at the point of death, or breathing its last. And I wouldn't say that DS is in anything resembling that condition.
