I have been informed by Chris Rouland that the statement that I quoted below is innacurate and was *not* made to CNN.com or AP. Knowing how the media works and how innaccuracies do pop up in AP articles, I believe him and wish to retract my accusation of immaturity in regard to seeking credit. I still stand firm with my other statements, though.
