In my post, I wasn't necessarily thinking about what you wrote, Jenny, and I'm sorry if it sounded that way. As long as I've know you, I've known and respected your work in the areas of communication, esp. the 2 minute areas - the elevator pitch.
Truthfully, if the event/news source is given the proper and correct information and they are careless with their posting or reporting - then it shows that they have work to do, too. Communication is a two-way street. We see this every day in news coverage of events world-wide and how that coverage is treated/handled. With information comes responsibility.
