Haven't noticed if anyone else gave an update on this thread about cooks source telling an author she should be happy her article wasn't attributed to someone else because articles on the web are really in the public domain. Andrew Sullivan now reports that cook source is kaput because of this. And good riddance, I'd say, if only as an example that this is just not done.
