Not directly addressing Joe, but I’d also hesitate to use this example as a reason to say the post itself was a bad idea.

Kevin Heller’s post was an insight into part of ICL process that we never get to see. Part of the power of blogging, that is slowly being accepted by people, is its ability to give us a view of things that we would normally never see (and often in real time!).

Now this case certainly demonstrates the need to be somewhat cautious in the use of blogging things that are usually not out in the open, but people who cast dispersions on the entire endeavour perhaps don’t quite understand how blogging is changing the way things work.
