Yes, very interesting. I've reproduced the beginning of the three versions below. I note that the Yahoo and Cramer versions both maintain the distinctive InternetWire byline. The Cramer and Marketwatch versions omit the word "Friday" as well as a few other words here and there leaving me to believe perhaps the Yahoo version was the original and Comtex retyped the release before redistributing it to other news sources, such as Marketwatch. Marketwatch then changed the byline to add "via COMTEX" to show that their source was once removed. ----- From Yahoo (original?): Emulex Announces Revised Earnings SEC Launches Investigation Into Accounting Practices.

Sure enough, Marketwatch (via COMTEX) appeared to have modified it very slightly: www1.internetwire.com www2.marketwatch.com{A3D1B4F3-5555-499F-BF7F-632377AB7DB3} - Jeff
