[Imc-web] [Imc-info] RE: Bogus Article - Removal Request : Libel (fwd)

[Mike Lehman]

Meghan,
Thansk for passing this along.

Well, I assume he'll get back to us when he figures out which article he 
is concerned about. The fact that he asks us to ask him to supply the 
link to the article indicates that something is fishy about this whole 
thing. I mean, if he has an issue, why not tell us in the first email? 
Is it a secret or what?

If someone thinks we should just ask him for the link, that's cool, but 
this is all just a little too contrived. I get 325 response in a search 
for "Steve" and even "zboxer at comcast.net" produced 19 results, none of 
which seemed to merit looking through. Is this all just some weird troll 
or what am I missing here?
