Mr. Frithjof Quvigstad ??? With all due respect to Mr. Quvigstad, I couldn't let this one go by without comment.

Just a reminder to all after reading Tonto's post of biz.yahoo.com Press releases are meant for the press. Generally speaking they are supposed to be "newsworthy". A sale and testimonial without any FACTS of significance used to be called advertising. In the web age, where little folks have mass access to raw PR, the boundary is blurring. Hiding behind "safe harbor" get-out-of-jail-free cards (read the fine print), clever enterprises have a new avenue to control the opinions of non-skeptical masses and sweep away their money. Just my $.02 - I don't believe half the crap I read even in the news; nevertheless their are some journalists I do trust to be going after and reporting facts. We all need to do our homework to differentiate.
