Mai Excited about Validation!

[DaveP]

Im sorry Targhan this did not tell me anything
other than I already knew and havent already said
on threads when this Mai statement was released
in the first place.

I would like to know who these "others" are that
helped you put this together and the "we" refers
to throughout.

Can I also ask whether you have any business, personal or financial interest in Genesi or related companies?

I could understand this as an interesting forum topic
but it is way out of place in "News" in my opinion.

It isn't even particularly thoroughly researched, at no
point were Mai requested to comment on the findings and marketing spin related to certification
programmes is well known.

I would also have liked to see you get a proper
quote from IBM on the certification claim, as the
claimed certifying body.

Its a puff piece, no more and no less. I wonder if
a non moderator had submitted this if it would be news?

[edit] too rough ... sorry [/edit]

When I think about the s**t I hurled at Mike Bouma
over his editorialising, the s**t that was hurled at
me  I'm amazed that so many that seem to be
interested in upholding the journalistic profession
to such a degree find this article to be so palatable.

@downix

Not at all. I don't happen to like these so called
expose's when they don't actually expose anything
or come to a reasonable conclusion.

I could and did put what you said the other way around. If
this was an article about Genesi then those people lauding
and and supporting it would probably be condemning it
and the person for not having adhered to some kind
of lofty professional journalistic standard.

I remain however of the opinion that this would be OK
as a forum article but as a news story it just doesn't cut
it. Thats just MY opinion.

I popped in here again to apologise for being so hard
on Targhan above, until I get out the other end of what
Im going through Id better count to 200 before I post and
even then reconsider. :-)

@Marktime

You are probably right. Sorry if I have put you off Targhan.
