Re: I keep saying the same thing over and over again, but nobody seems to care.

I concur wholeheartedly, John. Trust is the commodity necessary to even run a publication where contributors don't work out of a common office in plain sight of the boss. With trust comes the potential for abuse, either deliberately or because of misunderstandings or lower standards by the person thinking (or pretending) he's still on the straight and narrow.

The only issue -- or question, really -- I had with Charles' stance was that, *without further information*, it sounded as though the organization was negligent to follow up when the story broke. Your information now suggests that the publisher has made repairs from his end. That at least is encouraging.

Truly, all of us in this field are open to this potential type of abuse. The only thing we can do is to install a no-tolerance policy, make sure our staff is informed to the letter and all its implications and terminate offenders when we find out about transgressions. That's the most troublesome aspect - finding out about it when ill-meaning individuals will work through 3rd or fourth parties and other means to disguise their actions and hide their involvement.

Thanks for throwing this bit of additional info into this thread, John. It dissolves a bit the very uneasy feeling that even the management of a high profile outfit was confused about what the right thing was to do in the wake of the event. Shit, unfortunately, happens from time to time. How quickly and comprehensively one cleans it up then becomes the operative challenge.
