Letter: Telltale taskbar

Published 14 March 2007

From Colin Robinson

I was intrigued by the screen shot that accompanied your article on pastors swapping the pulpit for the webcam (17 February, p 24). It included taskbar icons at the foot of the screen, showing other programs that the user had open.

One was a web page whose title started with the words “Ousted Pastor’ Compl…”: with the help of a search engine I found that this could have been an article about the anti-homosexual preacher, Ted Haggard, who was found to be using a male prostitute.

Was this a deliberate slip?
