Subject: No news updates on Monday

Ellie, are you going to put a story on GI.biz telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday? Because I am going to put a story on EG telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday.

Re: No news updates on Monday

Tom, thank you for letting me know that you are going to put a story on EG telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday. I am thinking about whether to put a story on GI telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday but I need to do some research first. I will let you know what the results of the focus group are re: putting a story on GI telling people there will not be any news updates on Monday.

Re: No news updates on Monday

Ellie, thank you for this email clarifying your current position on the possibility of doing a story on GI telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday. I am interested in the results of your research relating to the possibility of doing a story on GI telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday, so please alert me to your findings. This may then factor in to the format I adopt for my proposed EG story telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday, which currently mainly focuses on the fact that there will not be any news updates on Monday, but leaves room for periphery information in addition to the previously stated information about there not being news any updates, on EG, on Monday. Look forward to hearing from you about there not being any news updates on Monday soon. (Please be aware however that I will not be doing any work on Monday.)

Re: No news updates on Monday

Tom, I have completed the focus group session, which involved asking the landlord's mate who has come round to fix the washing machine and has succeeded in breaking the dishwasher whilst failing to fix the washing machine whether he thinks I should put a story on GI telling people that there will not be any news updates on Monday. He said, "It's because the wires have come out the back you see and now I don't know which ones are which." I am going to put a story on GI telling people there will be no news updates on Monday.

Re: No news updates on Monday

Ellie, thank you for this additional clarification on the situation regarding GI's story about there not being any news updates on Monday. Please can you outline the test conditions adopted for the finding out about whether to do a GI story about there not being any news updates on Monday testing and provide the landlord's mate's hat size so that if there is to be a story about there not being any news updates on Monday, on EG, this afternoon, it will be possible to furnish it with the sort of contextual detail that people have come to expect from Eurogamer's news reporting which will not be happening on Monday. Also, could you let me know if you think it would be worth flagging that last fact up for the readers, possibly in the form of a story revealing that there will not be any news updates on Monday.
