Well, now, Martine

~ I've just gotten to here, after spelling out the deal regarding PMs. It's absolutely impossible for you not to have a copy. It's an automatic given. Unless there's something mighty strange going on. Some lessons have to work that way, however, just to make certain they get learned. Laurie did the
only thing an
ethical judge
could do ~ there is no way to FW a PM. The only option is to open it, and copy-and-paste it to another, separate PM. In that process, she would periperally see enough to recognize it once she saw it again. She also knew that you would automatically have a copy of it, so deleting it wasn't an issue at all. In reality, she also attempted to preserve your anonymity and not do anything to embarrass you. When she made her general statement, she intentionally bypassed revealing your identity, rather than 'exposing' you.
However, I must say that our procedures were
SO clearly spelled out, to begin with, that after telling me that you wouldn't have time to submit one, I'm surprized that you would try to circumvent our procedures. They couldn't have possibly been more clearly spelled out, including the reasoning behind them. Your insistence that it was a/the "Winning" one, the lost masterpiece, of course, makes me wonder what it's all about, anyway. Circumvention, victimization, sabotage, ratso karma, who knows.
I hope you'll dredge that little bugger up somewhere, and send it on. To think that you could zip off a masterpiece, without so much as a rough draft, in this short a time, and then manage to also circumvent Jarkko's cyberworld here, is truly amazing. Karma comes in all forms, doesn't it?
