This is very old news. The more interesting bit perhaps is that a few months
down the line, Mary's stories in MSW had her avatar and name replaced with
"NSW staff writer" and a generic logo. She wasn't happy with this, based on
what a friend/colleague of hers said. I reported this to a Ziff Davis VP and
it got resolved. *smile*
This whole scenario reminds me of Maureen O'Gara. All her articles got
removed over time.
Jo Foley first interview Bill Gates when they were both in their 20's.
Interesting fact, no? Journalism has been slowly changing since those
days...
