The reason that Peter came on so strongly was left out of your "reprint" of his email. He said: "This is not subject to negotiation. You’re putting reporter emails up for Spam-bots to harvest. Have you lost your MIND? And you wonder why reporters hate publicists? I notice that you put your own emails in (parens) so they’re not harvested, why would you not have the basic decency to do the same?" He was defending the reporters who submit queries to his service from being spammed. This publicist obviously understood the danger by using parentheses for her own email, but didn't offer the same courtesy to reporters. I just think you are making Peter out to be the bad guy. Does he need Terms of Service? Yes. We agree on that. Jon:

I said he was wrong to not have posted any Terms of Service on his site when he created HARO, thus opening the door to what she did. I also didn't think he comported himself very well with his harshly worded email, considering that he was at fault for failing to spell out the terms of service. As for BNET's registration process, sorry -- not my department. I agree that it's stoopid. Kim — I didn’t write that Peter was wrong to tell her to stop re-purposing his emails.
