We got a really good press profile the other day. And one thing that was nice was that all the facts were correct. It’s never bad to get press coverage, and we get a decent amount, but after seven years, I can’t tell you how many articles we’ve been in where many of the main facts were inexplicably mixed up. I’ve realized it happens much more often than I’d ever imagined, even in stories like the ones we appear in, which to be honest aren’t always of life-or-death import. The Jayson Blairs of the world are one thing, but it’s obvious major media outlets do skimp on fact-checking and proofreading, mostly in unnoticeable ways, but it’s always glaring to the people in the story. Anyway, my point is, they got the story straight, and if we happen to look a little good in it, hey, this time at least, the facts speak for themselves.
