Well, we have two extremes, not reporting something that should have 
been reported all the way to reporting every little thing, with the 
appropriate reaction somewhere in the middle. 

Someone wrote a very good post a while back, I suspect it was Geoff 
or Shaun, about the schoolboy code (it wasn't called that, but that 
was the idea) and it was about keeping quiet.  Whether that's 
British or frontier, or warrior...there are cultural groups who 
approach life that way. It really explained, I thought, what was 
most likely going on in Harry's mind. It must have been in Lee 
Jordan's mind too, because he didn't seem to report it either.
