As I said above in response to the previous comment and in the post itself, I would not have done it this way nor would I hope that anyone working with or for me would either, and that he did not go to anyone else internally does beg the question. However, I continue to believe that Mel must have been doing what he saw as the right thing, regardless of how it looks in retrospect, and we clearly don't have the full picture (and likely never will). And - without a doubt - this type of thing *to which WS has admitted responsibility* has no place in business. Thanks for commenting, Nina.
