failure notice (fwd)

[Jan Whitaker]

Thought linkers might get a kick out of this one.  I've copied the whole
transaction, but the gist of it is that I used the reader feedback
facility on the Fairfax website to report a story mangle and this is what
I got in return - a dead reader feedback address.  At least the reply was
contrite to me, even if the IP address didn't like the 'person' I was
sending it to. ;)

Maybe some of the journos know how to get mail through.

Cheers,
Jan
