19:26:03 jeffmason -> @courosa pretty gutsy of you
19:26:13 courosa -> from the photos, Pearson was in the face of people.
19:26:31 courosa -> @jeffmason Really, nothing to lose by telling the truth.
19:26:43 Gary -> @courosa:  Death - let us hope it is long and slow (reflects my experience with them)
19:26:58 courosa -> unless you say Non Commercial
19:27:31 courosa -> but what is the difference from them lurking on our blogs?

19:29:04 courosa -> not condoning Pearson' actions, but when we really become open we should expect that corporations will take the best of what they see, to pipe

open practice into their proprietary structures
