I must have missed that apology, can you give me a link?

I gave you a chance to back down easy earlier, instead you launched personal attacks on me. Now you have to suffer the embarrassment of being laughed at by SI posters you consider clueless. How ignominious. It'll blow over in a day or two, just remember, I tried to minimize this issue, you escalated it.

The real issue is Greenberg's credibility. He wrote an article that said they never returned his call. The article was published 11 hours after he now admits they DID return his call. Therefore this article was factually incorrect. Why didn't he change the article before it was published? This is the internet, press deadlines can be changed up to the minute something is published. Or once Herb got into the office and realized his mistake, why not correct the article, as is often done? Perhaps because his story is not nearly as good if he writes "they returned my call, but I wasn't here".

The evidence suggests that Herb and/or TSC slanted his article against IDTC, even to the point of publishing incorrect information, and then taking another 24 hours to finally correct his error.
