I don't know if anyone out there has ever been interviewed by a newspaper reporter. Let me warn you now don't. The Oct. 22nd issue of the NYTimes newspaper printed an article about Mini and Hummer owners. Read it and see why I'm still aggravated. My car's look has been changed because of that article.
Hopefully no one else will speak openly to a reporter.

Unfortunately they interviewed me as part of the article. Not only did they misspell my name but also attributed a quote to me that I did not provide (or was even asked to approve). Sigh....

I've been in a similar situation years ago...with a product called internet phone ( video conferencing)...
They totally mis-quoted me in the Wall Street Journal...
Peace,

I'd like to read the article but they want $2.95 to read it. That seems a little high for one article... Oh well...

Well it was the NY Times, and we all KNOW what kind of trouble they seem to have with the truth. Apparently they didn't do a very thorough job of cleaning house earlier this year.

Remember, you should only be in the paper thrice: Birth, Marriage, Obituary.
