Riechers; Well I did'nt pay any mind to that spin on things, but it is sort of non-sequitur statement, and yes there is some spin..as they indicate it delays the marriage..were that's not true..as it does not alter any original plans or time table, so it does not delay ..and that's a spin.. ---------------------------- You see it would or could be informative, yet it was only put in there as an after thought and to weave the word delay into the fabric..and it was non-sequitur (( A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it. )) it has no bearing is not relitive and does not effect the EC desision in any way, the EC could care less ..yet to them this EC thingy had to be released or they would look bad, so maybe that spin had to do with the delay also.. But so many news services do this now days..sort of clutter up the "news" .. or what is "new"..while they feed us hype and stiff us with stuff, that has no bearing on the "news" they just released..no bearing at all..but they want to manipulate our minds..it's an obsession with the news media where ever you go. -------------------- In this case if you really get into Reuters and watch their style you can just about tell what companies they ( or their frinds are invested in with out having to dig into their financial statements which they want to hide any way ) Reuters favors IBM and knows CPQ is subjet to take some market share from their baby, so they slant releases to support their picks..or investments and undermine competition, indeed with CPQ it looks like they may have been short. Sabby Stuff for the largest news service in the world. ----------------- Let me stop before I by innuendo accuse them of being involved in the plot and cover up of John Kennedys assassination, he was Irish you know..and you know how the U.K. wants to deal with the Irish..and Reuters is U.K...and Kennedy may have seemed a treat to their objectives very likely he did.. I was not watching Reuters back then..maybe some day I will see if I can find old clippings and look at how they dealt with Kennedy in general..I suspect it was with a very negative slant, -------------- Jim
