that's why i put bashers in quotes.
but this is somewhat of a big deal (not that big though) because of its symbolism. It would be a bigger deal if they produced the friggin audit and some ME contracts (obviously), but this is nice because the company would not spend $1700/week to place this ad for six months if 1) it were not a going concern and viable business, 2) if it could not afford it, 3) if business was not on-going as usual, 4) if they didn't want to stick it to the WS, 5) if they didn't want to clean up their name locally, and 6) if they weren't confident that they were going to come out of this whole mess just fine.
Now, it's not signed verified contracts and an audit, but it's a pretty strong gesture to make. and because of #4 on my list, it's funny.
