    - my newpaper and parent company has this policy for reporters and high level executives. - Kim Pine Nov 5, 11:38 3

- This. I have to think Keith broke this policy intentionally as an act of defiance, and quite possibly with the intent of getting suspended. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:28 2

    - Oh, I have no argument with the last two sentences of your IM. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:36
