"Left out" is an odd way to put it, given that anybody who published these details would have violated the Official Secrets Act.
An excellent series using characters in these roles is "The Bletchley Circle" (highly recommended, with great attention to historical detail).
- dang 9y agoWhat you and Mz both pointed out makes the article's headline (rather shamelessly) misleading, so I replaced it with language from the subtitle. Edit: I also turned off flags on the article, assuming that people were mostly flagging the (rather shamelessly) misleading title.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoWhy not have a comment- or flag list-box so people can tell you why they flagged?
- dang 9y agoIt would be a step toward bureaucracy. I do think about it from time to time, but since the temptation with features like this is to grossly underestimate their cost, or maybe even not see it at all, I err on the side of paranoid aversion to them, and in this way achieve balance.
- belorn 9y agoThat assumption was wrong for me personally. I flagged since code breaking during the world wars was a massive collaborate effort, and this kind of article tries to distill it down to a few people in order to then complain about it and make a political piece about gender. Discussions resulting from that approach is designed to turn volatile in order to raise shares and clicks.
