So.... For the 'night and day' contrast.....the Webnode3 paid for a release to influence the non-existent price of a non-existent company that could have been checked by looking for a non-existent ticker symbol. Not to mention the overt humor on the site. But on the other hand....it is OK to take payment to issue patently false releases from 'scam' companies that have no intention of living up to anything in the release? I recognize the 'fraud' of the PAIR release...but would it have been OK if was was a paid release? Would someone have run it? For a fee? And checked it later? I am a little dense. What am I missing here? You have to have a symbol to lie to the public? I would appreciate your insight. lee
