The weird thing is that so-called press releases CLEARLY aren't written for the benefit of the press. The more I read about industry-leading end-to-end best of breed out of the box initiatives leveraging industry standards to provide instant ROI, the more likely I am to trash the whole thing in a spasm of confused irritation. They seem to be written for the benefit of executives, who apparently speak a whole different language than me or anyone I know.

Heh.

Try not to use the word "enable," please.

Send it to me when you're done? I promise not to make fun. Well, not MUCH fun.

I did learn once how to write press releases. I don't think the knowledge survived a recent purge of all non-essential non-slash memory.

*hugs in lieu of useful help*
