@vzn I think the premise of your first response was incorrect, which understandably means you didn't investigate it further, unless you have some insider knowledge. Monica didn't fall on her sword or flameout, she was forced to resign / fired. Gilles clearly cares about this issue a lot, and to misrepresent what happened was definitely bound to get a response.
