Agreed. Mind you, I don't believe anyone really argues that what happened was 'right', merely that it does not signify the end of civilization as we know it. > All this nonsense aside, it was not clever to ask people to provide this > information in a public forum.

Which is, I believe the only real and valid point to be made here. This is no different to Clinton's indiscretions - it wasn't wrong of him to boff the intern, but rather of denying so in a public forum. Similarly, no harm was done by Greg and his consultant violating NDA, but he shouldn't have brought any attention to it in a public forum. (Oh, and last but not least, it could always have been just as possible that the copy used was acquired from a Hotline/Carracho server - in which case neither would have violated NDA - - yeah, we know this not to be the case, but if that were so, it would majorly screw the whole NDA argument).
