Dave Winer recently e-mailed an essay to the NPR
series "This I Believe." He never received an acceptance/rejection response, but he did get an e-mailed financial contribution plea. "Now I gotta wonder, if I don't send the money, will they consider my essay. Or if I do send the money will they run it?" After complaining on his blog, Winer got
an apology from the series' producer. "I don't think the editorial side should be sharing contact information with the publishing side," Winer told him.
