Okay.

Still nothing from the U2 plagiarism situation. I'm pretty sure the majority of the list is doin, basically, what I'm doing, and waiting for a reaction from either the listmum or the author, both of whom are remaining silent.

Just checked the list archives, and the post(s, it was double-posted) with the story have been removed, so either the listmum or the author have taken some sort of steps. The author is still on the list.

I want to try and email the listmod to say I'd like her to publically take a stand one way or another. Those of you who're on the list, a) do you think I should, and b) if you agree, can I mention this in my email. (Strength in numbers and all.)

So I got a response from her. (From my mail in private) She said that she tried to get ahold of Joanne via email, but she'd been having trouble with her account so she doesn't know if it ever got there. (Though the fact that she asked, and didn't wait for a reply kinda miffs me a bit.) I would guess that she's been talking to the list mod and that she's going to try and get ahold of Joanne. (Sice she said she would do both)

I thought you might like to know that your letter upset her. She was "offended."

Outside of that, I have no clue what's going on.

Good. *grim smile*

Seriously, though, at this point I don't care which stand the listmod takes, I just want to know something. Silence is a statement, too.

And what, she could tell you she was offended, but not me? Feh, again.

(Could I ask for an exact quote? Call me curious. ^_^)

I don't have it, but, "it offended me" was more or less what she said. I guess she was embarrassed or something, because she wasn't offended by my letter.

And yes, silence is a stetement. It would be nice to reassured that it's been taken care of. At the very least.

Or at least that she's aware of the probblem. Gah.

Well, I can tell you

I never got an email from her, but admittedly my mail was a bit erratic when I was having computer probs recently.

However, I'm miffed too that she didn't wait to hear.

Melle wasn't offensive, she was v. controlled. Of course, I seem to have a bad judgement of what's offensive at times...

I'm surprised she had the gall to be offended, to be honest.

I didn't find her offensive either. She didn't flame or curse, and she most certainly could have.

And even if she had I would be hard pressed to feel particularly bad...
