This subject has made it to TV. I just got a message from someone who was watching WMBC at around 12:50pm EST and the host and Bloomberg reporter Susan Antilla had a short chat in which the Webnode deal and alleged PAIR hoax were compared: She said that you guys do this all the time and that it's very educational. The anchor took up too much of her time trying to compare it to the Pairgain thing, but she countered that real people lost real money with that one, and that it was impossible for anyone to lose money on the webnode one. She referred to you as cyber vigilantes on Silicon Investor. My cable system does not get WMBC so I was not able to view it. Wish I could have. :) Also, I've also been informed from another source that this topic may yet again be the subject of a "chat" on the Bloomberg News program that airs every morning on PBS from 6-6:30am EST. That's Channel 13 for New York area viewers. - Jeff
