It's just that the "something is better than nothing" arguement isn't a very valid one when other alternatives are available and when myself and others largely see it as an unnecessary step to begin with, especially when the subtext is clearly "one more click won't be that bad." It's an arguement that ignores the fact that spreading press releases about multiple sites takes time, time that has to be carefully measured by most PDF companies that are one-man operations outsourcing to talent. As I've stated several times, if people learn that they can get the full benefit of a complete, link filled press release elsewhere, the context of that extra click is pushing publishers to those other sites because people don't want to piss off their customers.And don't tell me it won't piss of customers to the point where the press releases are dramatically reduced in value to the publishers. Yesterday when this was released I soon had an email in my Inbox from a customer of mine who was upset with the decision and was already suggesting alternatives. Now, it certainly takes a dedicate fan to go that extra mile and express their feelings in an email so anyone want to hazard a guess how many customers feel likewise without having emailed their favorite publishers?</blockquote>
