FYI - Spam article

[Michele Neylon :: Blacknight Solutions]

I saw this referenced in it:
http://research.microsoft.com/research/sv/PennyBlack/

You would think that a company the size of Microsoft could at least have got
a basic fact right, especially when basing an entire project around it!!
"The introduction of the Penny Black stamp played an important role in the
reform of the British Postal System during the 1830's"

Considering that the Penny Black wasn't introduced until 1840 I fail to see
how the hell it could have had any effect on any postal system in the
previous decade.
