RE: <nettime> Adam Penenberg's letter of resignation to Forbes Ma gazine |
hi all, an observation: I have a hard time accepting this letter as authentic, when it is rife with spelling/grammatical/punctuation errors. >From a journalist? See below. Can anyone confirm the authenticity of this email?

"Since Forbes issued a press release about the story, I assume the response within 60 Fifth Avenue was positive"--assumed (verb tense agreement) "("Going Once, Going Twice... Hacked!")."--punctuation placement "I repeated to Tenn that I would not testify, that this was gross breach of journalism ethics."--journalistic "(He did a phenomenal job, too.)."--punctuation "They must be thinking, If it could happen to me, if could happen to them."--lack of proper quoting, and should be 'it could happen to them' # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
