dear Paul,
That doesn't surprise me, someone suggested to HQ that they pay me and they said why she is doing it regardless, LOLO, what a hoot.
Again dear, this is not shocking it is common practice did you not know that? Would have thought that you had more awareness as to how biz is done. ,, L & $$$, WCTI,,, Barbara

Paul,

BTW, do you know that Columbia Financial received $135,000 plus 45,000 shares to issue those nice press releases about WCTI? (Yes, they are a paid promoter.)

No Kidding. We all knew that. Columbia Financial was hired by Wordcruncher, and is paid accordingly. Do you think press releases get issued for free? jeeeez. Wordcruncher does not have their own public relations dept so they outsource it to Columbia Financial. Pretty simple.

p.s. I don't currently have a position in WCTI, however I felt the need to respond to this message.

you're way late to the story with this info. no sh*t they're a paid promoter. but this info was much more effective on the negative side before the site was out (with ads from novell and iomega) and before they publicly announced a capital injection.

I doubt this will come as a surprise to that many of the regs on the thread. It's not at all uncommon that a company hire a promoter. I've seen more than a fair share of disclosures from Columbia stating that they were compensated for the releases, it's not as if they're trying to hide the fact.
