I think he already did post a note on his blog mentioning that Danese 
was no longer employed there.  There was also a press release, I don't 
know if it mentioned her.  The blog entry also said that David continues 
his employment, which contradicts the second part of the claim below.

So I suspect we're all still pretty much ignorant of what happened, and 
I wouldn't mind keeping it that way, but if I wanted more details, I'd 
look on the REvolution site for their side of the story, and on Danese 
Cooper's site for hers.

Not on R-Help.
