JS I say that "misrepresentation" and here is how I responded with E-mail: > -----Original Message----- > To: dwilkerson@marketwatch.com > Subject: Dell's bearish forecast mauls hardware > > RE; Your article posted on CBS Marketwatch > > "Dell's bearish forecast mauls hardware" By David B.

Dell Computer is in a quiet period and cannot comment on financial matters. Dell has made no such statement or indication to you or anyone else. You are setting yourself up for a class action lawsuit against your company. > I demand that you retract your headline and publicly apologize to Dell Corporation, its employees, its shareholders and to the financial press. > > Richard H. Weisbrich > --------------------------------------- Wilkerson's conciliatory reply follows --------------------------------------- I don't write the headlines, Mr. Weisbrich. I write the stories. And the story makes it quite clear that Robertson Stephens issued a negative forecast on Dell, not that Dell said anything. I'm changing the headline myself right now, to avoid any confusion.
