Storyfixer, WTF is your problem? You clearly have some kind of hatred towards that company. Did you get termed for this kind of BS at your job there too? Cut the slander and actually back up your content with credible sites. Private hate blogs aren't considered credible as they only possess opinions. Wikipedia is not the place for YOUR personal opinions either. Either work on your netiquette or learn to be neutral.

Planet Vortex,

I have never worked for your company. The 'problem' most people and I have is that small businesses and consumers are getting fed up with the predatory practices of most large corporations. InfoGroup's use of Wikipedia as a free marketing tool is just one more example. The references you give are not any more credible than mine. They are merely gossip pages written by and for the information industry. I can see you are very upset that I have presented the other point of view which happens to be held by the vast majority of the population. I really do not have any more time for this, so my future edits will consist of only some rewording and unwording here and there to fix your uncompliance with Wikipedia's prohibition of its use as a marketing tool. I see that you have removed some of the promotional stuff, and I really appreciate it. Thank you (and I mean it). Hopefully, this can work out to be a good compromise for us. I think we will probably come up with a page we can both live with.

Thanks for writing. Please let me know if you read this.

Storyfixer, I completely understand your point of view and I don't disagree, it just didn't seem appropriate. I'm guessing that the original author just didn't understand what wikipedia was inteded. Did you try reaching out to the individual who edited before you and mentioning those concerns? Some of the original references seemed ok...Company changed it's name. The one about the award...not sure it fits. As you can tell I'm not a regular author either. I was only a roll back individual in this case and had nothing more to contribute. I primarily didn't see value in the personal blog approach and the negative view. I look forward to seeing your new edits, hopefully they will fit more into the neutral grounds. The IP address individual was the editor in the recent updates. Planet Vortex (talk) 15:33, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
