Please join me in protesting the inappropriate re-posting of the MSG pre-sale password by Patrick Doyle in his blog (below)

The pre-sale password for Madison Square Garden was also announced a little while ago by the Leonard Cohen facebook account.
(edit: therefore, the blogger could well have seen the password on Facebook, which basically means he'd have passed along what amounts to public knowledge at this point - whatever we might think of that. Or he could be a member here, impossible to say really.)

Thanks for pointing that out Dan. I still think that re-posing passwords is wrong regardless of the source. If the intent was for the general public to have access, the sale would have been password-free.

Well, I agree in general, but I think this particular guy could have mitigating circumstances, since he might not know the password was ever supposed to be kept secret. I wonder who is in charge of the Cohen facebook account now. For all I know, it's AEG, or someone working for Leonard himself.
