I feel that BW needed to be exposed for what it has been,which is just give us the cash and I will give you your press release--many a careless person has been burned by investing in a company with a Business Wire press release,somehow thinking that made it legit.Max

TJ - let em fry... Heh, looks like we have a bug in the code. smirk Seriously, what harm did they do? Business Wire didn't do their work verifying a release and jumped the gun and now is upset about it. The internet has always been full of this type of Tom Foolery. Boo hoo, business wire looked stupid. Good. They deserve it. People need to learn not to believe everything they read on-line. Look at all the nutsy emails you get about "don't launch an email with "TRAVEL INFO" in the subject or it will destroy the world!" type junk. This amounts to the same thing. If you're foolish enough to believe this kind of stuff on first glance, then you deserve what you get. I think it did serve a good purpose. It made some people laugh. Harm to online forums? C'mon... It's not like the the internet was the shrine of truth before this. And yes, I'm in a cynical-pissed-off mood. g llater, Tony B
