[Seattle-editorial] Re: Indy Security Issue

[Laury]

Hi Joseph --

I hadn't posted the Amy Goodman item, so I didn't feel that my work was 
maligned.  My concern is that some was using the website to put up what 
was essentially graffiti.   I read the text into your voicemail before 
I removed it -- I'm not sure whether you listened to it.  Basically, it 
was someone who was pissed off about the rest period and how s/he was 
treated by IMC.

Past politics aside, things are going to heat up.  The rest period is 
coming to an end.  People have different ideas for the future.    
Ideally, we should become a vehicle for that debate.  People should be 
able to post their opinions on the website -- but not be able to hijack 
the process by using an old password.

The best way to move on is to change the passwords -- per our last 
editorial meeting.
