Were you planning a press release? I think he already did post a note on his blog mentioning that Danese was no longer employed there. There was also a press release, I don't know if it mentioned her. The blog entry also said that David continues his employment, which contradicts the second part of the claim below. So I suspect we're all still pretty much ignorant of what happened, and I wouldn't mind keeping it that way, but if I wanted more details, I'd look on the REvolution site for their side of the story, and on Danese Cooper's site for hers.

How would we R-ians know what has happened at REVolution were it
not for
Ajay's note? Were you planning a press release? Something like,

Well I don't know how much I ***care*** about REvolution,
but I'm at least vaguely interested. And I was toadally
unaware of what was going on until I read Ajay's post.
(I don't read the New York Times, or blogs, or subway walls.)
So from my pov Ajay did the community a service.
Oops I went all Simon and Garfunkel there.
If people want to add value to relevant blog posts onto R-news by
commenting and inviting discussion then that's fine by me. But no more
cut n paste jobs.
