Just to be clear, negotiations are about money and data. You guys argue on webboards and think that negotiations are some PR contest. They are not. There is not one media article that will affect the outcome in any way.

Bottom line; who cares what a stupid magazine says? If it doesn't affect your goals it doesn't affect anyone else's either. If you want to be taken seriously then act serious. This whole argument is fluff.
