What accusations? If there's some Parallel Universe you get this stuff from you could maybe give us directions. "Especially with the accusations that they had engaged in fraudulent activities." BW was not the butt of the joke until they took that role upon themselves by losing their cool and threatening this suit. Compare them with Wired.com, both started out equally fooled on April 1. Wired handled it professionally and sustained no damage whatsoever, somebody at BW went off their nut and is making BW look silly. Hardly something for which to blame Jeff, Bill, and Janice.

I believe that the Webnode 3 got into trouble because of their rather room size egos. JS

but my sense is that Business Wire got their feathers ruffled in their subsequent dealings with Janice, Jeff and Bill. Just for the record, I've had no dealings of any kind with Bizwire. They've never communicated with me, nor I with them. Especially with the accusations that they had engaged in fraudulent activities. You're once again not paying attention, Cindy. We never at any time accused BW of involvement in fraudulent activities. Pray demonstrate the contrary.

Oops. I should have read ahead before I posted that last note to you. Sorry. Go ahead on. Show me some evidence of this assertion of yours. You'll probably have to at some point, so it might as well be now.
