Amen - worked analysts and press for ten years..

From '89 -'99 I worked the software analyst and press tour... even when you gave them the straight info they extended, exaggerrated, and printed things as 'rumored from a knowledgeable source' and I could not believe how far from the truth, opposite to the truth, it was sometimes. Then there are the times when they make up quotes and attribute them to you.. there it is in print and you're like, "What, I've never said those string of words in my life! I could see how you could maybe quote is this way;"
"I" "once" "saw" "a" "duck" "invite" "a" "cow" "over" "for" "tea and biscuits".

My old boss, Jean-Louis Gassee loved the old saying, 'those that can; do. Those that cannot; write about those that can." But that's a little too harsh. I really respect those that have a way with language and communication.
