Ah - then you shouldn't pick and choose which messages in threads you
respond to. :)

That can be argued. The example we've been using here is of a "threat" that
Intego sent out a Press Release regarding and called various members of the
press to "ensure they had seen the news and would you like to speak to
someone at Intego regarding this new threat". The threat turned out to be no
such thing.

In this regard, Intego was certainly *trying* to make news out of nothing
and it's not the first time nor the last that they have tried to get the
press' "attention" to issues *they* think are important. Again, that *is*
trying to make the news.

I didn't mention that specifically.

No, I don't.
