I'm also perplexed not only by the failure to tell Jimbo but by the failure to
tell anyone else. Maybe I'm just a stuck-up self-righteous snot but I would
have first gone to Jimbo and if he had known would have demanded disclosure by
the Foundation. Even if you thought that Jimbo already knew about it why not
let others know as well?

That's why I compared Moreschi's silence over this with his
broadcasting of the private mailing lists and who he assumed was
"lying." Yet with this thing, he feels no responsibility to tell Jimbo
-- and it makes no sense to argument that he thought Jimbo knew
*exactly* the same things that Moreschi says he discovered, because
what possible reason would he have for assuming that? -- and, Jimbo
aside, also feels no responsibility to alert the community. I hope
he'll explain why he had such a different attitude to the two issues.
