No S#*T!! :-)

So what you're really saying is that PR people are the saviors of the
universe - and thanks very much, I'll accept the title! ;-)

BTW - I am still giggling at the claim, posited a few posts back, that
plaintiff's attorneys are suing corporations and various miscreants to "keep
them honest." While there are a handful of plaintiff's attorneys for whom
"keep(ing) them honest" is their motivation, I would suggest that the
prospect of making money is the motivating factor for the vast majority of
plaintiff's attorneys. Not that there's anything wrong with wanting to make
money - or succeeding at it.:-)

Damn, B.D., first it was lawyers that were the saviors of the world, now
it's the journalists!  Well, I think it's the female actors on BayWatch that
are the saviors of the world.  I guarantee you I can get far more done with
one of them by my side than if I had a lawyer or a journalist, or even a
citizen reformer there.
