surely didn't hurt, but i don't believe it was the primary reason.
I was in DC then and always heard the story second-hand, so it's entirely likely it got emphasized differently in the retelling
certainly the guild had reason to complain about it.
hah now that I think back it WAS all wapo guild people telling me that story.
which is hilarious, because I worked in Post newsroom for ~3 years & was never in guild & they had no idea.
in a way i'm happy we're far enough removed from the late-90s to finally get some understanding of where things went so wrong
