She feels that they are no longer needed as the situation is “now resolved,” with no evidence found of plagiarism in either case as everything was done in accordance with the genre norms of “highbrow journalism.” I have explained to her that this is an unmoderated listserv, not an edited blog, and that SIGCIS has no editorial role. We have never had such a request before, and the SIGCIS EC is currently exploring its policy implications.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">However I do want to give you a reminder that everything posted to <a href="mailto:members@sigcis.org" target="_blank">members@sigcis.org</a> goes immediately and without moderation to more than 350 people around the world, and that all messages are permanently archived and open to the public. This is in contrast to a blog, or a threaded discussion board where posts can be edited and deleted. So before you “reply all” just take a second to think about what you are doing and who might read it. After you click “send” it’s going to be up there on the interweb forever.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">You will also notice additional text pointing out that opinions expressed are not those of SIGCIS appearing at the bottom of each new message.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Best wishes,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Tom</p></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 4:41 PM, Browne, Janet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jbrowne@fas.harvard.edu" target="_blank">jbrowne@fas.harvard.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
