Here's an interesting tidbit about Melanie Sill:

I see the Bee has hired Melanie Sill as their new editor. She was the guilt presuming columnist at the Raleigh News and Observer who wrote the infamous "We know you know" column at the beginning of the Duke non rape, non assault - lets hang the white boys hoax. Her inflammatory writing was instrumental in igniting the racial firestorm and to hell with due process ethic with which DA Nifong was able to perpetuate this criminal conspiracy. Only in the MSM could such incometance be rewarded with a promotion.

Apparently Melanie Sill has changed the article several times on sacbee.com. Does anyone happen to have a copy of the original, or know what she has changed??

From another comment on sacbee.com:
You have changed & edited your four excuses for why the Bee posted this database at least twice & it's very obvious. Yesterday pm u added info about other states (those state's gov'ts are who posts the info, it's not posted by a tabloid newspaper such as the Bee) & again this am, it's a totally different article. In both yesterday's versions, your tone was very defensive & the facts u stated were inaccurate & not researched; this am, it appears like someone else with better writing & researching skills edited it for you & posted again. However, doesn't matter, yesterday's editorial is what did the most damage & just because you keep changing it (without acknowledging the change by updating the last posted by date which still shows 6:30 3/5/08 as last updated-ANOTHER LIE) doesn't mean you're going to get your subscribers back. Researching the facts NOW instead of BEFORE posting the story was very stupid on your part. Sorry, I don't read tabloid trash & that's what the Bee has become.

and another:
"In other states and counties, media organizations or other private companies have posted the information." This sentence is brand new. Either you have done extensive research overnight to get it or this is another untruth. Sorry, your history has proved you are not trustworthy. So you state the above, I ask that you prove it, name two other websites and provide links them just like you did to Georgia and Iowa - who, BTW, do not have a search engine based on individual names alone. One doesn't do names at all and the other does last names but only in connection with a specific department. Bad comparison on your part.

I just read that Melanie Sill lives in Elk Grove. I don't know the source, so it's not confirmed.
