How am I stealing the spotlight from them? They are on the front page, whereas mine is just a comment that's relevant to it. They still have the spotlight, the link is still there and my comment only adds to the number of comments on the story.
If anything, the comments saying that they shouldn't be trusted, etc. harm them more than my comment.
Actually my comment should be: I don't think being audited by a third party firm is newsworthy, this is us being audited and we didn't post it.
PR is hard. Replies like the one you got are a hint that you need to learn a lot more than just "This right here that I thought was not really newsworthy is totally newsworthy."
;)
(Chin up and all that. This is not intended to be in any way hostile.)
Maybe, but don't do it in someone else's thread trying to steal the spotlight from them... Really bad taste.
