ioi,
It's a bit sad of a commentary on journalism, but it does seem that, unless you know and trust the journalist or the place that they work for, you need to assume that they are equivalent to National Enquirer. And that any restrictions that you would put on the publishing of your comments, you would want the wording to stand up in a court of law as basically as 'contract language'. "Appreciate", IMO, is too 'nice' of a word. "I require that you", sadly, would have been better.
To others on another topic brought up here:
And as far as the stock market is concerned, high priced analysts from very respectable firms get earnings estimates wrong all the time. I could point out a number of quarterly earnings that are off by large percentages, especially if the earnings amounts per share are small to begin with. So, it shouldn't be surprising that lower volume games are off more %-wise as well.
Torturing the numbers. Hear them scream.
