News stories usually have a theme -- they're not just a straight compilation of facts. And the writer may have crafted that theme based on faulty assumptions. You give your quotes, and the writer chooses some to support the story they already had. Your quotes show up in slightly (or dramatically!) different contexts than you gave them, and you end up looking like you meant something completely different.<BR/><BR/>Reminds of the animation articles in 'Wired' magazine this month. I only scanned them at the newstand, but the writers of those two articles were so off base in a lot of their basic assumptions that what I read was mostly nonsense.<BR/><BR/>Not that any of that will keep Steve and I from trying to give the real story of animation, such as we understand it, when reporters call. Just please read our quotes with the realization that you're reading a sentence or three out of many that we actually said, and sometimes in a different context that we said them.Kevin Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678528568112279975noreply@blogger.com
