Thanks, Eric, I can appreciate your thinking. I also think there’s a fair likelihood that the poster may have felt they could not post with their full information due to the sensitive nature of the content. It’s unfortunately the case that there is still a lot of discrimination that victims of sexual harassment face, and I can imagine dozens of reasons someone would be nervous about trying to surface these issues. Hopefully there are other venues and mailing lists where S B can get the word out and gather information to help bring light to a very serious problem.
