re: #31 Gearhead

I wonder how many other groups would be vulnerable to having their image tarnished by the revelation of a few choice emails. I would suspect a lot.

You’re right, but a true professional (in any profession - mine is far more pedestrian than most) writes every email as if the recipient is going to share it with an audience wider than you intended. It’s second nature to me now.

I’m in no way endorsing or excusing the phony scandal, but scientists could learn something useful here from the more buttoned-up work culture that many of us belong to.
