Dear "what?"...
Out of courtesy, we are not currently revealing the staffer's name. And this is the first time I've seen a presumably Beacon staffer comment on the cybersquatting situation, since according to the Badger Herald, "Mendota Beacon Editor in Chief Tim Shea declined to comment on the issue 'as a matter of policy.'"
Below was the kind comment to our press release

Who is the staffer? Print a name or shut up about it. I work for the Beacon and have heard nothing about this. I think you are just jealous that some randon student out there pulled a joke on you. Put up or shut up buddy!
As a staff, we chose to ignore this situation and its absurdity until we realized how these two domains are giving the Beacon false hits and allowing them to effectively lie to online web advertisers by producing hits that are by folks not at all interested in the Beacon's website. Of course, this doesn't help the Observer's online stats either.
"Put up or shut up"??? Sorry, but I might be able to listen to you if y'all were willing to reveal your sources regarding your "breaking news" story on the Observer's funding situation. Also, you chose to deny printing our correction to that story, claiming that since your "facts" were right and ours were wrong, you wouldn't print the letter. As a news publication, this seems to be a very poor policy decision as "facts" tend to have different perspectives and you owe it to your readers to print those different perspectives as they come to you.
Regardless, I hope that we can figure out a cordial, professional way to resolve this situation. Cybersquatting is illegal. I hope that you understand the ramifications of this as you refuse to comment on the situation. If you didn't do it, just say so, in public. If you did, then please hand over the domains for equal value and provide us with a solution to recover damages.

Nature and structure of Gnosticism
A typological model: the main features of gnosticism
Though difficulties have arisen in offering a definitive, categorical definition of Gnosticism (see below), various strategies have been employed in overcoming the problem, with varying degrees of success. It is therefore appropriate to offer a typological model of those ancient philosophical movements typically called Gnostic; the model offered is adapted from Christoph Markschies' version, as described in 'Gnosis: An Introduction'.
