Obviously the email system spontaneously decided to flatten the organizational hiearchy and institute a distributed swarming organization instead.
I say the BBC should sit tight and let this progress on its own. It could totally reinvent they way they operate. Hell, just institute a email policy that randomly emails everyting to anyone in the organization. Google probably already has a patent on this.
Rubbing their noses in hard evidence might make it harder for them to continue.

"After all, if it were not for Minix we would not have Linux today."
That's quite possibly true.
It does annoy me though that people aren't as generous with crediting Stallman in a similar manner.
Tanenbaum was the grain of sand, Linus the oyster. Ok, maybe it's a little overboard likening Linux to a pearl, but you get the idea. Andy's just irritating.:-p
That's ok, it's covered in the EULA -- the vendor's not responsible for anything. Since the developers are either employed by or are contractors for the vendor, they're similarly protected from any responsibility. So it boils down to caveat emptor -- test, test, and retest before accepting any software product.
Too bad you have to click through the EULA before you can test it, suckers!
We've all seen how letting the politicians ans business run things ends up.
Internic just worked(tm) when it was run by a cabal of geeks elected by geeks.
Instead of talking about turning management of the Internet to some governmental body, we should be talking about turning management of the world over to the technichians that actually have to make things run properly.
We can set up re-education camps for the politicians and businessmen that advance their companies through influence rather than competition.
in big bright yellow letters might be a more satirical way of making your point. You can always put "Jack Thompson is an dangerous idiot" on the back if you must.
