Ken, you're confusing the issue with too much clear thought. Stop it—now. <gg>

Ken, with all due respect, I think that Business Wire was made fun of and ridiculed AFTER the April Fools Day joke. It appears to me that the Webnoders were offended that Business Wire had tried to define and enforce their trademarks and professional parameters, AFTER APRIL FOOLS DAY WAS DONE AND OVER, and that the Webnoders took to their usual tactics of flaming and attacking when anyone doesn't agree with them, or has a difference of opinion. Enforcing and protecting their trademarks and professional parameters is both Business Wire's right and their responsibility. I do truely hope that ALL parties involved in this incident will be vindicated. It's too bad that it had to get to this point.
