I can't help but wonder if this is part of the reason why Jeff Lindsay wound up leaving Interpreter. I mean, if you have any integrity whatsoever, then how could you possibly continue on in an organization where the President is repeatedly and egregiously engaging in this kind of behavior? As for the rest of the folks involved--are they looking the other way? Or have they all resigned themselves to the idea that this brand of dishonesty is a "necessary evil," or what?

I heard that Jeff was uncomfortable continuing with the Interpreter.

Oh—pardon me! It seems I was mistaken. Lindsay is actually still with Interpreter, believe it or not: I was thinking of his announcement that he’d stepped down as “Editor” of the blog.

But my being mistaken does nothing to absolve the extensive plagiarism on “SeN,” and the fact that Interpreter’s board doesn’t seem to care.
