Jay, your "evil twin" Mike Norman was fired by TheStreet.com! Lately he was getting rather snippy in the Columnist Conversation. I guess the stress of his poorly-timed NEM short finally got to him. <ggg> The final straw was this... Setting the Record Straight 10/29/03 12:58 PM ET thestreet.com Two posts that appeared in Columnist Conversation Monday by Mike Norman were not properly sourced: the first at 2:43 p.m. and the other at 2:54 p.m. Both posts contained word-for-word statements from a piece written by L. Randall Wray, titled "Surplus Mania: A Reality Check," which was published by The Jerome Levy Economics Institute. Unfortunately, those statements were not attributed in the posts. The second post contained a link to Wray's piece ( levy.org ) , but there were no quote marks or mention of Wray's name as the author of those words. As a result, we realize that readers may have come away with the impression that Mike had written them himself. Therefore, we'd like to give appropriate credit to L. Randall Wray, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. TheStreet.com regrets the error.
