b-but some mainstream publications don't use them. When did the Guardian stop using them? What about the other papers? I think the Telegraph still uses them.
The NME using them stopped some time between the last printed copy in my possession (from 1993) and yesterday (when I looked at the website). That's assuming they don't still use them in print but not online - if a publication had that policy it would be significant in itself.
