I don't understand what the shit is supposed to be about. That people want to have interviews authorized by them in the final form of publication is quite what I would have expected. That InfoWorld sees themselves unable to deal with such a request makes one wonder what their problem is. No deadline planning? Wanting to present the interviewed person in a manner to which he would not agree? That they want blanket authorization to publish whatever they choose to pick before even doing the interview seems pretty strange. I know that I would not want something like that done to an interview of mine, and people always have asked before the final publication whether I was ok with it. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
