Go up one level in this thread


If you are a journalist, and someone tells you someone else's calling
card number, you do not publish the number, even if someone else is
passing the number out.  Sure, the number is a fact, and journalists are
supposed to publish facts, but it is irresponsible to publish this
particular fact.

Sure, Ed screwed up, he had a bug.  But you made it worse by very
excitingly telling everyone about it.  You may as well have titled your
post, "Get a full version of Ed's software, quick, before he figures
this out and takes it off the site!"

I wonder how many hits Ed had on his site last night, from people trying
to get his stuff for free.
