You need to stay on message. The real scandal here is who leaked the APS mailing list. That is the story that has legs and will sell newspapers. /s/
Dear Cherry
I suspect the list was “leaked” by one of your minions sending a mundane notice to the membership and placing the distribution list in the cc field instead of the bcc field.
Happens all the time, ya know.
They are trying that of course but it isn't working.
What is surprising to me is how little actual investigative journalism has went into attempting to identify the identity of the leaker. The Russians apparently have some insight into the source IP address of the the person who posted the files to a Russian server. Where is the curiosity in the media about that? Methinks maybe they really don't want to know. Maybe they know in their heart it was grad student at CRU and identifying him/her would open up a can of worms that even the mighty MSM could not stuff back in the bottle.
