Twitter is being used as a very hard news source indeed. You see, Don, you said you understand how the media works, but you don't. Down there you mention major news agencies - did you know Reuters uses Twitter? And AP? No, Don, you didn't. You like to scoff at what you don't understand, Don. and that's a great deal :-)) > > > >> I am sure you see it that way, but I find it > >> comical you consider a limited distribution trade magazine part of the > >> mainstream news media. > > > >I don't.

And here's me that's just typed three words into Google, Don, and got one of our environmental stories referenced around the world..... -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

You might want to go back and read my previous messages and this time try to comprehend what was written. Of course you will be feeling very foolish after you do. >> >> >And you have n >> >idea where much of the 'mainstream' media gets its specialist stories >> >from. >> >> Maybe I missed the stories picked up by AP, UP, Reuters or CP >> attributed to Food News.

And here's me that's >just typed three words into Google, Don, and got one of our >environmental stories referenced around the world..... You are just like Moto. You make claims and refuse to offer support for them. I think we would all like to see one of your environmental stories referenced around the world. But we also know you will not produce anything to support your claim.

No, it isn't, Don. Once again, Don, you failed to read the posting properly. Don, I have never said the article is in the public domain. > Considering > your long standing history of bragging and boasting, I choose take > your statement with a grain of salt. I do not brag, Don. If I've done something, Don, I say so. If I haven't, I say so. If I make an error, I say so, Don. And I *do not grandstand*, Don, by putting my work on the web. Examples you would be advised to follow, Don. > It may or may not be true. I > think that is perfectly fair and your begging this forum for support > will not change my opinion. OK, Don, so continue to insinuate I may not be telling the truth. Nobody else believes that, Don. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!
