[CIMC-work] Fwd: [IMC-Editorial] Please remove my street address!!!

[anarch3m]

Dear James,

I'm glad the request got attended to and I am sorry it took so long.

You understand that WE (indy) did not do the post, as we are open publishing and anyone can put anything to the wire.

I do not know if you contacted Chicago directly.  I got the request and sent it to Chicago from the editorial at indy list that I administer. I believe it was ELIZABETH who responded? That list ( ed at indy)was not the place to send the request, but I am always looking for misplaced mails there. 

Your welcome.

Sorry that we are not moreobvious about what to send where.  Its an issue with me, as it takes much time to redirect and there are many moments of grief during the period.

I must take objection with the characterization of indy as "amateur."  We ARE all volunteer.  We do have some respected and award winning participants and also the respect of "commercial" journalists.  We have had reporters blodied and besieged across the globe, so I think the "amateur" remark is unwaranted.

I admit we're overworked and somethings have been overlooked- like streamlining issues as you have had.
