Re: Evaluation of SIRS

[Janice Ziglin <janicez@MAIL.EXECPC.COM>]

I have found SIRS to be quite balanced on the topics we have looked up.  In
fact, this balance is what keeps me subscribing to SIRS even if I might
subscribe to other online services.  SIRS is the only one that I've seen
give differing sides of an issue.  They have also been very responsive when
I've raised a concern.
