Correcting misinformation

[Arancaytar]

There appears to be no general thread for this yet (sorry if I
overlooked one with another title).

Here's a blog post that had several facts wrong - specifically, that we
DDoS the server of the one who sent the spam (which is a) illegal and
b) impossible since the sender is usually spoofed). I hopefully got the
facts right in my comment, but it would probably be better if an
official spokesperson would send a more reliable correction:

Just direct them to the wiki :) We have all the myths dispelled.

First, Hello everyone.

Second,  I am sure this has been talked about to death but, I think this really hits home the fact we need a really good press release.  It seems that the reporters in order to break the story are pulling anything they can find from blogs etc where with a good press release they are likely to trust that first.

Unit1911, can you take care of the press release?

If Unit if you want to do this and you want some help perhaps we can put our heads together on IRC someone to create something.

I don't mind preparing a press release, IF a member of the admin team
authorizes it.

With all the confusion, I have no idea if I am PIO or a not. The front
page now has a pr...@okopipi.org address that I have no access to so I
am not the press contact anymore though my name is still peppered all
over the wiki.

Understand I have no problem being PIO or any position I can be of
help, I just want to be sure effort I put forward is not a waste of
time.

Sorry, I've set up that email address to forward to me. If we had any
normal press requests I'd have forwarded them on to you. So far we've
only gotten a couple of major requests which I've forwarded on to Jim
and John (phone interviews).
