Some of those posts caused someone to be summoned to Atlanta to explain
how product/show info was being disseminated on Internet, and caused
an internal witch-hunt to determine who was responsible as it "wasn't their
job". In short, the news about the tapes and merchandise did an "end run"
around those charged with PR (you mean they *have* people in charge
of Kats PR?), and it caused a few people some uncomfortable moments
under bright lights. So, I stopped putting product info up on rec.arts (if
temporarily).

Yeah, but the poster's basically cool. She has friends in Spumco who have
friends at Carbunkle, so it's fairly easy to see where objectivity gives way
to loyalty.

Hmm. Now you've got me thinking. It may well have been "Mutation", and I
can't get to my backups to check.

"kay, but everyone maybe keep guesses to themselves or point-to-point
e-mail, okay? Cool.
