Let me make 1 thing clear, I am not bashing, if I was, I would sell my shares. I only call things how I see them. I see the wording as slightly deceptive, thats all im saying.

Let me give an example (real life story):

While I was in undergrad, I lived in an on-campus dorm. The school wanted to promote safe dating practices so would hand out "protection" and leave it where people living in the dorm could get them. To make a long story short, only Resident Assitants could go get the "protection" from the school then pass it out, but, my friends and I wanted to play a prank on some people and we needed a few hundred of them. So, a friend and I went to the Residence life office and asked for 7 boxes of protection, the woman we spoke to obviously knew only Resident Assistants could make these sorts of requests so she asked "and who are you?", my response was this "Westminster hall, 6th floor", she seemed pleased with my response and gave us what we wanted.

The moral of this story, yes, I did live in Westminster hall, on the 6th floor, was I a resident Assistant? No, but my answer HINTED to the fact that I had some sort of authority and the woman made a natural assumption.

Sorry for the long story most of you will probably think is stupid and pointless. My point is mainly that the reference to the firm caused ME TO MAKE THE FALSE ASSUMPTION that they had retained the firm and I PERSONALLY feel that it is misleading. Does that make me a moron? Sure, why not.
