Humbly report, Janice, regarding what "appears to you" isn't "what happened". "Business Wire" on the Webnode thread: techstocks.com Cheers, Svejk proofsheet.com

Well Janice, you should have recognized that you stepped on some toes and you could and should have diffused the situation with some apologies, instead of trying to fight fire with fire and causing this to escalate into more of a hornet's nest. Business Wire had the absolute right to make some demands, because for Business Wire, time (especially "real" time) is money, whereas for you, for some reason, time is not money, and you are in leisure and ridicule mode twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, including holidays. As far as your accusations that Business Wire met you with hostility, I think that you are obviously projecting your own hostile attacking personna and repetoire on Business Wire. I can understand why Business Wire feels that they need to take a stand, and I think that other wires will follow their lead. Geez Janice, you have already pulled this stunt off once, why keep doing it year after year. I don't think you are educating people, I think you are wasting people's time and aggravating people that have to work for a living. Sometimes less is more, Janice.
