<<<< I'd like to see BW come across with restitution to me because of the false and misleading press releases they put out for MTEI, ICVI and HDST just for starters. They can't have it both ways.>>>>> I'm glad you see the logical flaw there. If they don't attempt to screen releases for veracity then what's the big deal - unless FBN didn't pay. On the other hand if, as BW apparently now claims, they do attempt to screen releases for accuracy then we have to ask why they would attack an obvious April fools joke with laudable motives and not some of the far more nefarious material that they have put out.
