Amen.

Kudos to David for keeping the Rondos untainted! And kudos to whomever made me laugh out loud at "at least she's well read."
In a way, Lianne's thievery actually DOES tie in with folks who are happy to proclaim newspapers "dead". Her cut and paste "writing" is akin to most internet news aggregators who just re-link to actual news organizations. The difference, I suppose, is that they at least credit the Newspaper or TV network with coming up with the story. (although there have been many cases where such aggregators just "re-write" the original news story to make it appear as if its their work - I think they are hiring, Lianne! Tongue )

As to the Rondo. Yes, David, it was the right thing to do.
