[WikiEN-l] NewYorkBrad leaving

[WJhonson at aol.com]

While I was researching *why* New York Brad was "forced to resign", since  no 
one here seems to want to state that Daniel Brandt revealed his real name and 
 the law firm for which he works ---- I found this interesting article.

While gives a big overview of the whole Overstock.com issue and related  
topics.
I still have no *clear* idea of what naked short selling actually is....  but 
wow what a lot of new topics to research!
 
Even ED doesn't really go into the whole thing in a way that makes the  
issues clear.  They really need to hire a new writer, and the folks at WR  respond 
in one or two short sentences to a whole lot of underlying detail.   Like that 
one guy said "I see the crumbs, wheres the loaf of bread" in the whole  
Alison-Amorrow "he's editing from where I work" fiasco.
 
I'm rambling.  It's just much easier when you edit from your own name,  and 
have nothing to hide.  Linda Mack? MI5 ?  Google-Watch?
 
What happened to the Daniel Brandt article?  Is he not notable?
