That's funny, Cindy—rather than simply ask about the bylines and 'repeated demands', you go straight into attack mode without knowing any of the facts.

I'll give you a tidbit anyway, despite your incessant need to villify us. At 1:15pm on April 5, email came from BW to remove 'Business Wire' from the byline, and remove all of the content—content by the way, that was ours, not BW's.

I was too damn busy at exactly 1:15, but I knew I could get to it by end of day. At 3:42, another email came through whining that it hadn't been changed yet. I still had work to do, but I still had time reserved at the end of the day for that task. At approximately 4:45, I was able to change it.

So there are your 'repeated demands'. 3 1/2 hours seems reasonable to me, but BW felt it necessary to whine about it in the interim. Why you always have to be a prick about these things, instead of simply asking what happened is really beyond me, Cindy.
