    I don't think that anybody is questioning whether a mistake was made. The problem is that there's no reason to publicly humiliate the people (read: volunteers) who made it in order to correct it. The point could just as easily have been made without specifically naming anybody.

    I know that if I sent out a mass emailed "reminder" to my company about the proper protocol for something and specifically called out somebody from another group in it, the response would be a universal, "What a dick!" I'd be lucky to avoid being taken to the woodshed by my boss for it. That's just not how it's done.
