For the very simple reason that I found it impossible to believe that the COO of WMF got carted off to jail and nobody bothered to tell the boss (that's you). Evidently I was wrong. It's somewhat hard to believe, but it seems to be true. How bizarre.

The one thing I don't understand is this. Jimbo says he had no knowledge of this whole Carolyn Doran business until it hit The Register. That's fine, I guess we have to believe that. Did no one bother to tell him? Evidently not. I refuse to believe that no one at WMF knew anything until The Register made their phone call/published the story. What I am asking is who knew what when. The whole reaction to this has been one of confusion - this was always going to hit the press anyway, so surely a more coordinated response could have been planned?

Moreschi, you are the only one who has claimed to have known in advance, and so my question is: why didn't *you* tell me?
I learned that the Register was going to run some kind of story just hours before they ran it, and even then I had no idea what would be in it.
If you knew something, why didn't you tell me?
