| The gist is...If you have a serious comment to make anonymously...email it, don't just post it. |
Truly anonymous comments - where the writer is unknown - are not published unless they are unexceptional.
Comments or articles where the authorship is known but are offered for publication anonymously are considered on their merits. (Email Steve or Donna in confidence.) There are some circumstances where it is necessary to be close to a particular situation to be able to throw light on it but to write about it publicly would jeopardise the author's position. In that case, the decision to publish an item anonymously hinges on the question of whether or not it is informed opinion that will add insight to, or might start, a debate on a particular topic.
Unsubstantiated allegations of illegal behaviour or substandard products, for example, would not be posted unless they could be independently verified, in which case we would probably publish them ourselves.
Just because a post, article or comment, etc. is published on Telecare Aware readers cannot and should not infer that the editors agree with the author, anonymous or not.

Quite an eye opener! |

Steve, That's quite an eye opener! I don't either have the knowledge to comment on the funding issues you raised, but I did note in the accounts that in 2008 Tunstall paid £168 MILLION for the RTX solution. No wonder they wanted to keep it quiet at the time. I bet they could have bought a white label version of a similar technology for much, much less if they had asked around! [Dear Anon, there are quite a few interesting little things one could pick up about Tunstall from these accounts but the Soapbox item isn't really about them. I've tried to focus on the general lessons to be learned, much as one does in a business case study.] |
