ID once meant name, address and telephone number, now a name, tel
num and e-mail is okay (along with "Advt").  The NYT claims it owes this 
to its readers to show who's not who.

The "ads" are called "reader notices" by the NYT, which calls to verify
the bona fides of the purchaser. And they will not publish everything
requested (no vitriol, darn it). There's vetting but mawky pleas swing
the censor, indeed, the vetter seems to boost haywire to keep the 
mad buying. Is that not a Brit legacy, too?

Here's the poop for arrangements (as of 1/96):

I used Alta Vista's Translation Service at
http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate? and selected the
"Youngspeak to English" option, with this slightly more comprehensible
result:

"There vetting, but mawky pretexts swing the censor indeed cousins seem to
load haywire in order to hold the furious purchase. Isn't that a legacy
Brit, also?"

I think it is saying something about how our British cousins get furious
when then have to buy censored legacy applications and the slithey toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
