I think bashing the org and the Ombuddy should stop.  I think we should 
distance ourselves from that bashing.  I do not approve of breaking the 
rules of the process, notably the duty of confidentiality, for the 
purpose of making a splash in the public forum.
These are totally separate from the issues of needing a policy. Sure we 
need a policy.  We also need a privacy policy (which would have been 
abbrogated in this instance).
My 2 cents.
Cheers SP
