Cindy,
One more nauseatingly banal saccharine cliche and I will puke.

All right, Cindy. So why is Bizwire suing us? I'd really like to know.

Cindy you ignorant cluck (sorry TLC). Business Wire has only been "singled out" because they chose to attack the Webnode 3.

Why did Business Wire react so strongly?

Due to recent nasd/sec rule changes, many OTC companies will cease to exist over the next few years. Business Wire stands to lose a great deal of business as their customer base shrinks. Being exposed for what they really are at such a crucial time must have really rankled them. In essence they are attempting to prove their credibility as a legitimate news wire organization by going after a group of innocent pranksters.

They chose the wrong group.
