[Seattle-editorial] Re: Indy Security Issue

[Laury]

Hi Walt --

It's been long enough that I don't recall the wording of the text.  I  
had read the original feature.  Then a day or two later I noticed that  
the piece had changed -- as though someone was putting a totally  
different spin on the Goodman feature.  The second version didn't have  
the same tone as the first -- it also didn't make a whole lot of sense.

IMHO, your comments about the rest period -- however worthy of an  
editorial -- were probably seen as inflammatory.  Since that post,  
things have remained calm.  I just want to make sure that  someone  
doesn't hack the site the next time the topic is brought up again.

Let's discuss this off-line . . . during the next editorial meeting ;^)
