Simon বলেছেন...: Would a grown man write this sentence: "Sue Gardner and I have an excellent working relationship, like, really really excellent"? like, really really excellent?! That's the argot of teenage girls and surfer bums, not intelligent adults.; ৪/১/০৯, ১২:২১ PM
Palladian বলেছেন...: "That's the argot of teenage girls and surfer bums, not intelligent adults."

Yeah, if only he'd dropped in a few dozen Latin words and phrases. Nothing says adult like Latin words and phrases.; ৪/১/০৯, ১২:৩০ PM
Meade বলেছেন...: Careful, Althouse, it could be Rachel Marsden posing as Jimmy Wales. It may have not been enough for her to sell his stuff on ebay after he dumped her on Wikipedia. Ooo baby, baby it's a wild 2.0 world. Hard to get by just upon email, gir...rrr...rrrl.; ৪/১/০৯, ১:১১ PM
The rule of Lemnity বলেছেন...: It looks like the NYT got some company.; ৪/১/০৯, ১:২৮ PM
Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: Unfair, Lem. I've never assumed it was him. I felt I had to publish the text in case it was him. I was in a bind.; ৪/১/০৯, ১:৪২ PM
The rule of Lemnity বলেছেন...: You are absolutely right.; ৪/১/০৯, ১:৪৫ PM
Ron বলেছেন...: 'publish -- but verify'. Smarter than Oprah, you is!; ৪/১/০৯, ১:৪৯ PM
blake বলেছেন...: Ooh. He was mixed up with Rachel Marsden?

He has my pity.; ৪/১/০৯, ৪:৫২ PM
crazyray বলেছেন...: Ann,
It shouldn't be very difficult to verify the authenticity of the email. Did you try replying to it? Did you try writing to his main contact email address on wikipedia?; ৪/১/০৯, ৫:০২ PM
Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: Yeah, I replied to it, and what I got back was: "Don't quote me." After I quoted him. The hell!; ৪/১/০৯, ৫:২৬ PM
Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: Over at Wikipedia, it says:
