I guess whether one thinks it is pomp depends on one's circumstance. [sorry - couldn't resist that one.] :-)

Pretty much. I mean, a major strike like the one at GM, a merger, maybe even a stock split, that is the kind of thing that belongs in an 8-K. Filings with the SEC are supposed to be written by the beancounters, not the PR department. Take the June 3 PR/8-K. One-third of the non-boilerplate is a quote of John Jenkins talking about the Y2K problem. As if the SEC (or anyone else <g>) wants to listen to Jenkins talking. Not saying it's direct evidence in and of itself, but it does smack of unprofessionalism. By way of contrast, Microsoft last filed an 8-K almost four years ago, and another of my favorite stocks doesn't even have one in the entire Edgar Online database.
