    Jordan,

    with regard to this statement I can say this is absolutely true.
You can see my articles at:

    http://www.markshapiro.com/magsbyauth.html

And aside from an occasional interview many times I and many
journalist I know would simply take a 'news release' and =

verification of what a company says. So many times =

you end up saying things like:

     So-and-so claims that...

or  =

      Just release is....

    It all boils down to the same. If you write the
way you want it say, then write it that way. M$ knows
this and plays on it especially with items like
the current Mindcruft issue & RHL.

    You some perspective and opinion.
