Notice how Wired News has not been the object of ridicule? Correction 11:15 a.m. 2.Apr.99.PST On 1 April, Wired News ran an erroneous report that a company named WebNode.com had won a contract to sell nodes on the US government's Next Generation Internet. Wired News congratulates the pranksters and regrets being suckered into it on as obvious a day as 1 April. Pfft! Copyright © 1994-99 Wired Digital Inc. All rights reserved. I think you said it best: That's how a pro* handles being pranked upon.*

Sphincter? I don't even know 'er! But [referencia borradó] has employed some rather 'foot-shooting' measures. For example, an innocent bystander (and good samaritan) simply sent an email to them stating his opinion that their attack was unwarranted. What he received as a "response" from Diana Behymer (diana@bizwire.com )was apparently meant to be an internal memo which portrays the bystander/samaritan (who is completely unaffiliated with Webnode) as "one of the perps" in a potentially defamatory way, and that, rather than responding in a professional manner, this "perp" should be ignored. The word "Oooopps" comes to mind. ____________________________________ “I still think there is one person over there that has a tight sphincter. I wonder who it is.”
