Perhaps Kev also didn't read the part of the email saying "Please send a sample of the post you recently published". That could explain why there was a two-month delay, since Paul would have been waiting for him to reply instead.

  I emailed the author last night basically a copy of my comment, and then the article changed shortly after. So I guess the author feels slightly bad about it?
