The WGAw Credits Dept. handles IMDB

I just received word from Lesley Mackie McCambridge, who runs the WGAw Credits Department, that the issue with IMDB has been resolved. She and her department were on this one before any of us in the blogosphere even knew about it, and IMDB will not be moving forward with any plan to relocate writers’ credits from their rightful position.
All of your letters and feedback definitely supported the Guild’s efforts. Thanks to all of you and Lesley for winning this one.
Hey Craig,
Is the WGA still trying to get Netflix to make their movies searchable by writer?
Congrats to a department that took the greatest hit in the recent layoffs.
Since the WGA is being relatively pro-active these days re credits, etc. I wonder what their reaction (and yours, Craig) to this recent development:

The WGA ought to get after Netflix to include a writer’s link there too. Currently they just have major cast and director.
Oops — just saw the first comment! Yeah, what brains said,
