Maybe they just got tired of the hundreds, if not thousands of annoying emails and phone calls from Rossi's fans, demanding a detailed accounting of just how great Rossi's invention really is?
It isn't at all unusual for a company to release a statement on an issue that is generating more than typical interest. NI made the most insignificant acknowledgement possible (other than "Never heard of the guy!). And that was only after Rossi's fans and associates generated considerable hype about the relationship. ________________________________ From: Jed Rothwell <jedrothw...@gmail.com> To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 3:29 PM Subject: Re: [Vo]:Rossi's behavior is more tragic than deceptive Yes, NI has millions of customers as Mary Yogo said, but they do not write millions of letters to Forbes. They would only do this for a customer they consider important. If it was just some guy who bought Lab View they would not confirm or deny it, even if he registered his name in the customer database. The people at NI are not fools. They know that Rossi is controversial. They would not confirm the relationship without careful consideration and deep knowledge of what he is doing. - Jed
