From: Sent: Tuesday, February 3, 2015 9:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: more trivia here is the latest from the Guardian—why publication should be based on what i said is obscure to me Bob, Thanks for your note. I made clear that we don't ordinarily retroactively change quotes - our reluctance to share quotes in advance is to avoid this very situation. That said, appreciate that your more colourful/animated remarks may have been delivered in the heat of the moment. More broadly, I take on board what you say. We are in the process of considering whether (and if so how) we would publish a story in light of the information you have provided. I will let you know when that changes.
