It looks like Kristin was asked to remove the information. I suppose this is because either there's no truth to the rumor whatsoever, in which case I would think that she (and Ausiello, for that matter) would issue a retraction/update/explanation/apology. OR it is absolutely true, but she received some sort of gag order...perhaps in exchange for better or more scoopage closer to the series premiere?

TWOP lists the exact quote (along with a link to the page with the missing information) as it appeared on Kristin's site: http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=3157791&view=findpost&p=10188840 As I said in my original post, I wasn't sure about the reliability of their spoilers. That it's been removed could only mean one of two things, I think. 1) Either there was no truth to the rumor whatsoever, in which case I would think Kristin (and Ausiello) would issue an apology/update/explanation for reporting the information in the first place; or 2) it's absolutely true, and she retracted it because she's received some sort of gag order...?

If you check the google news items for April 28, they refer to that sliver of info.

One can imagine a Greek being very proud of his heritage, and showing off his linguistic knowledge to a young smartass. It could go either way, but I doubt he'd have spun into a digression about Teddy and fur and all if it wasn't true. Eme, no apology necessary. Hull, that’s a good question.

I can imagine an old school ad guy taking the young Don under his wing, teaching him the ropes, suggesting that tapping people's memory of past happiness is the surest way to sell them, but did he and Don get into the origins of the word, or was that just a rhetorical device that Don picked up from Rachel and Peggy?
