Although this discussion is nominally "hypothetical", the damage done is already real.Damage to whom? You mean to the employee, or to those who wrote the letters?
As for inviting them to this thread, that's a good idea and I'm going to do exactly that. I'll post a message here directly to Naomi, and I'll try to get an e-mail address for Andy and contact him that way.Excellent. In the meantime, two posters in whom I have great confidence have stated that the letters do exist.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
