A very historical building in my area had an incident the other day.
Here's a few quotes from the article in the newspaper (identifying info has been replaced with '_____'):
Do you feel it was appropriate to report the name of the company that did the initial checkup a couple of weeks ago? Who knows what other factors could've been involved here?
I don't think they should have, but I'll add to this that I already don't care too much for this particular newspaper. They always seem to have an ax to grind with companies that don't advertise with them or care enough to knock down their door and beg to be written about in their Sunday business section. Putting aside any underlying motives that most likely exist in this situation between the newspaper and the hvac contractor (who is extremely reputable), what say you about them being identified?

. . . . . _____ said it was the first time she had used the heat all year. _____ Heating & Air had just checked The _____?s furnace system two weeks ago and said everything was fine, she added. . . . .
