Ms Shell,

<Doesn't matter why he decided to do what he did: he could have taken the advice of his Aunt Sally, or heard someone talk about Webnode on Oprah. I'm sorry, but I think people bear responsibility for acting stupidly, and for not thinking before they act.>

That is quite a statement. And, while I agree with 'people bearing the responsibility' for their acts, I (still) also feel that there are others who also should bear some responsibility.

John

What if he jumped in a car and sped home furiously only to crash into a van full of girls scouts...then how would the Webnode3 feel?

Business Wire is embarrassed about not keeping their nodes to the grindstone. For one thing, everybody knows that the alleged Webnode data:

<<
Argument of Perigee (rad) ....... -1.31888
Rate right ascension (rad/sec) .. -8.01176E-09
>>

constitute an inverse oxymoron!---(which is to say that they are not merely not homologous, they are not even analogous, to any appearance of real data)
