Dear Tom, congratulations! congratulations to the SIGCIS community, showing its sense of community. Not having specific details to contribute from accross the ocean, I have enjoyed seeing you stage a little battle and win.

The Washington Post's Ombudsman has posted a lengthy and detailed retraction of his previous column. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/omblog/post/origins-of-e-mail-my-mea-cul pa/2012/03/01/gIQAiOD5kR_blog.html This will also make my life easier, as I no longer have to try to present the actual history of email, correct the Post's errors in the original story and Ombusman blog, and debunk Ayyadurai all in one article. We can shift the focus to the real history, which is ultimately more productive. Best wishes, Tom _______________________________________________ This email is relayed from members@sigcis.org, the email discussion list of SHOT SIGCIS.
