Since the article outing PJ--which I got to with difficulty, and only just 
after it came out, not at all since--I have been able to view some of Ms 
O'Gara's stuff, and not some others.  Suggests slashdotting as one I 
couldn't view looked innocuous, but new and possibly interesting.

Thae PJ article was really underhanded.  It's easy enough to do that kind 
of thing without being so specific.  That was totally irresponsible.  I 
would hope Sys-Con would be considering dropping her like a hot rock.
