Fact checking and preparing to open the flood gates

------------------------------
Email from Steven to the WSJ reporter
------------------------------
Normally we issue releases at 7 AM Eastern time on PRNewswire, or usually BusinessWire.
Will that time work for you and your paper? If that messes with you on the West Coast, let me know and we'll delay the release.


------------------------------
Email reply from the reporter
------------------------------
I think that would be fine, but let's wait a bit and reconfirm later. I will also have some fact checks.
