Oh my god what a load of carp. BW ought to sue itself for disseminating that misleading PR. Don't you find it curious that nowhere do they mention the date of the release? No suggestion that BW was taken in by an April Fool's prank. Lokey you are so full of carp I bet your eyes are brown. It is nothing like the Pairgain PR release, that was a real company and the stock reacted wildly. We all know what happened to Webnode after the PR hit the wire; nothing, not even a blip, I didn't make a dime off my Webnode stock holdings. All I want for Christmas is to slap Lorry Lokey. What a disingenuous dude. Hey WN3, if you want to issue your own PR through PR Newswire, I'll send you $50 towards it. Just PM me. I hope your settlement agreement does not prohibit it. I am really sick of BW's attitude about this thing. Somebody ought to let the air of that fat pompous ass. [edit] I just read the BW PR again and I just can't believe it. It is so misleading that Lokey deserves an Oscar for the acting job he is doing. I could go on about every sentence in that thing and how it is so incredibly slanted as to nearly be false in its entirety, but I have better things to do. I really think you 3 should release your own PR if you are not prohibited from doing so. The public deserves some balance here. I'll help you write it if need be (but given the Webnode and FBN sites, I hardly think you need help).

Note that once again Bizwire "forgot" to mention that Webnode was an April Fool's joke. And I might add that their comparison to the Pairgain hoax is disingenuous to say the very least. They're not making themselves look any better, are they?
