On a more positive note, however:

A few weeks ago, I received an email message from one of the folks at the Undriving site, asking me for an interview. Apparently something about one or another of my responses to their posts on Facebook caught the collective eye of their writers, and one was nudged into initiating contact.

A few emails and a phone call later, this post on the Undriving web site appeared!

A tip of the helmet to David C, who reminded me some years ago of the existence of the Disney short mentioned in the article. I've cited and linked that short many times, here in my own blog and on Facebook. I still find it wryly amusing, and relevant in a stereotypical manner.
