Agenda? Nah.... If I had an agenda, I'da added my own commentary to my post. As it is, the only way anyone would know my opinion of the piece would be if they know me. Like I said, though, the point of a Subject: line is to pose why a post is "on topic" and isn't considered a part of the post itself. In the last few days, Michael, you've misquoted me (I said "most of the time" in a previous post, and you quoted me as having said "99% of the time". Even vague familiarity with a dictionary will tell you that "most," even in superlative form, means 50% or more), and now you're accusing me of having an agenda to push in a post where I didn't even pose an opinion. I haven't mentioned anything about what their data (little that it is) tells me from my experience working in a PR firm, or my experience with dealing with customer (mis)perceptions, or other things like that. Being (very) familiar with studies like these, and having been directly involved in a few, I get a lot more out of it than you obviously do. If I had an agenda, I'd pose my opinion on the list. As it is, I've merely posted a URL to a news story and titled it appropriately to let everyone know why the post is appropriate for this list.
