Right! And "cancelled for what reason", too. As we've already seen on this thread, one client is unhappy and may elect to cancel—not because of us—but because of BW. They know not what they do.

Janice, you know me, we've spoken over the phone, exchanged e-mails and PM's. What the hell am I not getting here? Business Wire is in the business of releasing information from companies and getting paid a fee, correct? Who are they to say what's legit or not. Hell, I can recall off the top of my head at least 2 dozen press releases that contained nothing but false and misleading information. If they would have filed suit against a few of these companies, it would have saved me money instead of loosing money. "irreparable harm" I think they should look at their company practices and see just exactually what "irreparable harm" really is. People new to investing like me believed they were a news source to trust. Now, I rank them right up there with calling the company. PB
