Obviously you don't understand the media biz. If you really were doing PR for CCC, they had a pretty poor excuse for a flack.

Sure, thats why I and others at koeln.ccc.de started just telling journalists to go away, it works fine for us and saves a lot of time. Andy Mueller Maguhn can play the Media Bizz game with far better success, but success for whom? But I still would be very glad if you as a person probably understanding the media biz can give a hint what is so fundamentally wrong about the assumptions in above paragraph. thanks drt -- teenage mutant ninja hero coders from da c0re - http://c0re.jp/ me - http://koeln.ccc.de/~drt/
