Tom, thanks for posting here. I guess the tone just comes off as a little pedantic to me. But I can be pedantic with the best of them when I want to be, so I can’t claim superiority in that respect. (This position is starting to hurt; I think my legs are asleep.)

How’s your lotus pose these days

Damn, I try and do you guys a favor and improve the product (of which I am a target) and you guys go crazy.

Fine, continue on with a defective product that hasn’t changed in decades. I don’t really care because I don’t deal with press releases, I deal with direct-to-Tom pitches and I use the press release for background info or I quote from it and say the company said:

But it could be a lot more useful if the format were changed a bit–I’m not saying we shouldn’t have them I’m just fed up they haven’t changed to reflect the realities of the online world.

I thought you lot had an ethical duty to communicate your client’s message in the most effective and best format possible–maybe I’m wrong…

When someone performs a public service, then they deserve the thanks of the people they have helped.

Thank you, I feel less stressed have read that post. I thought it was just me who is tired of this ill-informed, pontificating irrelevance. Every West coast PR blog seems to treat the content with kid gloves.

I think the emperor has no clothes on.
