Though they have now published an article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/06/mysociety_not_sacking_civil_servants/ Would have been nice to have a slightly clearer correction at the head of the blog. Maybe this is why I rarely blog - I like to check original sources before I do which takes time. -- Francis Davey _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
