So don't do LSA. Do a singular value decomposition of a term by document 
matrix. ;-) Or better yet, try something else, like Independent 
Component Analysis (ICA) which many people find to work better.

I'm always hoping to see a paper that shows that LSA works better than a 
simple cosine measure, but somehow the vast majority of LSA papers never 
do that basic comparison... ;-)
