Why does one bother...

So I did a piece in the
Observer on Sunday, about going green and saving
money. Not a bad little piece, hardly front-page
stuff but useful enough. It made the point, among
other things, that there isn't much point in using
energy-efficient lightbulbs, you're better off using
ordinary ones and switching them off when they're not
in use.
And on Monday I get the weekly e-mail from the financial writers' group rounding up what's been in the weekend papers. "Guy Clapperton on going green," it said. "Telling us to buy energy-efficient lightbulbs and the like." Or words to that effect.
I mean, come on, guys. You could at least read the thing before summarising.
