AJB Makes the Times! (Sort Of)

Good news--for once AJB has been cited in an article on the CR coverage. Better news--we're presented as a site filled with reasoned discussion, in opposition to that vile anti-Craig site. The source is none other than the London Times, and you can read the article right here.
Unfortunately, the Times got our domain name wrong (something that's happened before); but here's the relevant passage:
. . .a contributor to another fan site, absolutelyjamesbond, pointed out that, no matter how good Craig might prove to be in the role, he may never be able to surpass Connery’s defining performance in many fans’ eyes.
“From all the reviews, I think DC will be the best Bond since Connery, but Craig is interpreting a character that was formed by Connery. All the others have had to follow that template, and whoever follows Craig will have to as well.
To give credit where it's due, the quoted poster is "armourer," and you can find his comments in this thread created by HighHopes. Thanks for making us look good, armourer! {[]
