Katherine, In defense of Mr. Riley (not that he needs it, I'm sure he can do quite well on his own) I don't believe he was using loaded dice. He offered his opinion, for free, and anyone was able to look at it, cogitate on it, ignore it, follow up on it, or act on it. Sure he spoke emphatically for the case. But others spoke equally well against it. You and anyone else could have just ignored it. That's the beauty of freedom of choice and why adults are allowed to exercise it. If you choose to follow someone blindly, then you have no one to blame but yourself for your blindness. I don't believe Mr. Riley went out of his way to deceive anyone. If his analysis was flawed, then someone should have pointed it out to him. If you didn't take the time to determine if it was flawed or not, then you have no reason to call foul. I'll end by posing a couple of questions to you: You stated that you read a lot of press releases. Do you believe each and every one that you read? Why or why not? How many of these do you follow up on with independent research? Why or why not? For the ones that are obviously hype, do you follow them or ignore them? If hype is effective in modifying your behavior, it is so only because you let it. Endofsermon. Tony
