First time caller.... Had he been guilty of the same lack of attribution in support your views, you would be singing his praises, or else arguing to downplay any supposed impropriety. Greg seems like a fine choice, if you have any further arguments to the contrary, they should be a lot more substantial than what he thinks on your pet issue. The peanut gallery (or at least my seat in it) says this particular exchange should be continued privately. But feel free to differ, it will only hurt your cause.
