The WSJ interactive edition has picked up the story: __________________________________ HEARD ON THE NET from The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition. April 28, 1999 Three message-board users maintain that their April Fool's gag involving a phony press release was all in fun, but Business Wire isn't laughing. The public-relations service sued the three, a move that is attracting a lot of interest online. FOR MORE INFORMATION, see: interactive.wsj.com A nice article, with links to both last year's site and the current one. I won't tempt fate or the lawyers and post the copyrighted article here, though. BTW, biotech-savvy people on this thread may enjoy my own "press release" from a while back on behalf of Pump'n'Dump Biotech: Message 6956876 I wonder if Business Wire would have accepted it? <G> Peter
