Whoever said that PNLK's agreement w D&B did NOT include a "full blown" credit report is, IMHO, absolutely right. Read the original PR below. Says nothing regards "credit reports." However, no big deal. The service has been designed to facilitate, also IMHO, to provide "leads" for D&B from PNLK. I for one will be VERY, I mean VERY VERY, surprised if PNLK is not earning a commission from D&B on every "lead" turned into a sale. Just another "probable" revenue stream. So calm down folks, inside every cloud I believe there will be a silver lining when you look a bit deeper. Gosh, I love this stock!! Just wish my fellow shareholders weren't so damn nervous.
