It seems to me that they always have to reissue their pr's two or three times in order to get them right. I think they made to the amex too soon, not sure they are quite ready for the bigger boards?

Seabass I think you are being a little too hypercritical.

Having worked in the news media you have to understand that many immediate information releases read like an interview. If you will notice on the first paragraph that the context of the lanuage is that of a reporter making a commentary leading information statement into the information followed in the second paragraph which is further clarifacation of the interviewed subject's quote. In this case being the CEO.

Many of these PR's are written in a broadcast format not a print format. If you want an object lesson on what I am trying to convey to you sit down with someone and have them read only the first paragraph of the PR as a reporter out loud. You then read the second paragraph as someone being interviewed out loud. I think if you do that you will clearly see my point.

This is nothing to get worked up over. Just listen to the CEO. He is the person that is running the company.

SEBASS .. it is very likely that BUSINESS WIRE writes their own headlines for their post. SO is a very good chance that the mistake on on their part not that of GTE
