>>>>>Ms. Tamraz, the Business Wire executive, says there probably have been cases where companies have distributed false information through the service. But she says Business Wire doesn't have the ability to investigate every claim made in every release, and says when the service has reason to believe false statements are being made -- as it did in this case -- it takes action. "There's nothing of this magnitude that we've dealt with before," she says.<<< That's nice of them. Does anybody know of any press releases that BW has published that should be looked into and who at BW would like to hear that information? I would think that if more then 2 or 3 people informed them that something that they have published might not be true they would have to look into it after making the bold statement above. z...........

"They think they're very funny. We don't." She says legal action could have been avoided had the group not continued to mock the service in recent weeks." Wahhhhhh! They're making fun of us. Mommy, make them stop! Wahhh, whine, snivel. Barb
