Fund-quiddick

First there was RaTHergate. Then there was the Eason Jordan Kerfuffle. Now, we have John Fund-quiddick.

My guess is that Fund made an honest mistake here, as there was a row of Internet-connected laptops available in the hallway outside the room that housed Bloggers Corner. Indeed, that’s Doverspa’s take on it. Still, I demand to see the tape.

Meanwhile, Robert Cox is setting up a John Fund Blackberry fund.

Update (2-20): It’s apparently a disease with Fund.

Update 2: Julian Sanchez offers another plausible explantion: Fund is just plain strange

  1. After reading what went down, I agree with the theory that Fund must have thought these were public access machines. No harm, no foul, as this just seems to be a simple human mistake.

    BTW, Doverspa handled it with class.

    If I’d been Adam I might’ve at least said something like, “Dude, you do know that’s my computer, right?” Gently, in a low voice.

    I don’t know enough about Fund to know how he would have reacted, but odds are it would have been fun to see.

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think I would

    A. Leave my laptop unattended
    B. Leave my laptop unattended without a screen saver password/logon password
    C. Leave my laptop unattended

    I wouldn’t be worried about what I could learn about you if you borrowed my password, I would be worried babout what you might learn about me when I turn my back.

    Not that I don’t trust you, but I don’t.

    I’m sorry, but I don’t think I would … Leave my laptop unattended without a screen saver password/logon password

    Yes, there is that. Excellent point.
