A few smoothing words like, "I can understand why Business Wire feels they have to protect their professional parameters," etc. would have went a long way. Parameters of what? 1. You weren't dealing with 'em, so you actually have no idea whether this is true or not. 2. In fact I can't understand that. Bizwire chose to overreact, to make highhanded demands and issue orders. I realize that the First Amendment guarantees us rights that you must find dangerously anti-authoritarian, but hey, it's the law. 3. As we've all noted many times before, had Bizwire reacted as Wired did, there'd have been no problem. They should have asked us to put out a second PR explaining that it was an April Fool's joke, end of story. By the way: speaking of Anti, you've yet to comment on his colorful posts of last Friday on the AZNT thread. Still your hero, is he?
