Humbly report, Ellen, it has been stated here and elsewhere - many times - that Webnode.com had NOTHING to do with [reference deleted] except for purchasing a press release from [reference deleted], until [reference deleted] made it their [reference] to make Webnode.com's CONTENT their [reference]. Again, as has been stated here many times, all SUBSEQUENT "ridicule" of [reference deleted] is the result of [reference deleted]'s actions AFTER the Webnode.com event. Very important. Please do remember that. Cheers, Svejk proofsheet.com

"Business Week did not deserve to be used* and ridiculed and set apart ...*" And they weren't. Until they made threats. Smite not, lest ye be smitten. . [edit] - 'smiting' reference - #reply-8732174

If I had caused someone, or some company, so much undeserved headache and heartache... Bizwire has suffered "heartache"? Oh gimme a BREAK, Cindy. Tell it to Hallmark. And I am not surprised (though disappointed) that reporters from other News Wires aren't viewing this fiasco with more objectivity... Lol. Translation: "I am shocked and disappointed that they don't agree with ME". Actually, Cindy, that should tell you something. Many things, in fact. It should give you some idea what they learned when they consulted legal experts, and it should help you understand how journalists feel about First Amendment rights. And get it straight: BW doesn't employ reporters, or publish "original" news. It distributes company press releases.
