Journal Cover

There is no way an employer can publicly disclose reasons for letting an
employee go. Too much liability involved. I have no inside knowledge
myself. But I discerned what may have been a little  arrogance in John's
posts. I can imagine he may have been difficult to work with.
Unfortunately such is often the case with very talented and artistic
people. We just don't know the other side and likely never will. But I
suspect there is plenty of blame to go around for everyone. There is in
most conflicts.

Well it wouldn't be the first time someone really talented was axed at
PTG...I have not heard exactly why John is no longer contributing other
than his post to the List some time ago.   I haven't heard the other
side of the story...anyone from PTG want to let us in on their side?
