Wow. How unprofessional on so many levels!!=20

Unfortunately it seems this has been picked up already by a lot of folks =
incl. I just got a press inquiry on it.
While my instinct would say just remove it, I think it=92s not an option =
anymore. I think we need to write something very short and sweet that =
has zero opinion and only fact and post it instead.
