Right. One of the articles is on how to measure web filtering software.
It has nothing whatever to do with computing, computer science, or SW
engineering. I considered writing a letter pointing out the similarity
of this article to one on how to measure the effectiveness of human
librarians at keeping certain books out of the hands of minors, but
what's the point? CACM exists as a peer-reviewed journal for academics
who would otherwise perish.
