But I think this can be attributed to two things: 1) she's still young and still believes in what she's doing (i.e. not jaded, not just trying to get the story to press) and 2) all my replies were carefully crafted, having the luxury of being able to edit and re-edit what I was saying. In fact, I recycled answers from a previous e-mail I'd sent to another reporter. I used these same answers for three e-mail interviews. It made things much easier for me, and if there were any mistakes in the article, they would be my fault since my responses would in all likelihood be copied verbatim.
