I have great respect for both Dow Jones and Bloomberg. Both put out initial stories based on BW's press release and then both did follow-ups after talking to us. I'd give a "0" to any news organization that did not talk to one of us... the big exception being Wired as they at least quoted our web site and responded with dignity, class, and good humor once they figured out rather quickly what was really going on. - Jeff
