So that man (GDB) has something else to answer for!

That last paragraph is a doozie - two sentences and the first takes up
almost the entire para. 

My head was already aching - courtesy of the F18 fighter planes patrolling
overhead all night to protect George Dubya - and it certainly didn't help.

It will be interesting to see what Macromedia makes of RoboHelp.

Thanks for letting us know Bridget but, goodness me, could they cram any 
more US style PR BS and convoluted legalese into something they call a 
press release?

You could cut through the corporate self-promotional agendas in that with a 
knife.

Obviously written by the client for the client.  A journo would need a 
Babel fish to translate this one for public consumption.

Reminds me of the old advertising industry adage of corporate advertising 
being like pissing yourself in a dark grey flannel suit.  You get a warm 
feeling that nobody else notices.

Cheers,

Michael Granat
