At today's hearing of the Tribunal of Commerce in Paris a judgment was rendered declaring Pretory, S.A. in bankruptcy and appointing a receiver. The process finally will now begin to transfer Thendic-France's assets to Genesi SARL.
Our situation with Pretory S.A. has been a long and difficult one. In all matters we have cooperated with the French Government and agreed to close the Company in a coordinated and proper manner. Time will demonstrate that we have behaved properly and legally in all respects as shareholders and managers.
In no way will these matters effect Genesi. Finally, we are personally free to devote the time and resources we want to the Genesi.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

Thendic-France : Comment 69 of 161 | ANN.lu |
Posted by DaveP on 18-Nov-2003 10:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 63 (Bill Hoggett): > While I agree with previous comments that there is obviously some spin in the reporting and analysis of the consequences of this story, I have to

Ahem. The reaction of one person was explained in these terms when it was queried.
> Would people have reacted better if BBRV had not reported it?
Nope. No argument there.
> Would people have reacted better if they simply reported the story and gave no explanation as to their involvement in it?
Nope. No argument there.
> Would people have reacted better if the said "it was all out fault and we're horribly evil and nasty people"?
Nope. No argument there.
You are missing one, which is indeed the point that I have tried to make all along:
> "Would people have reacted better if the plaudits ( I'm using this now ) hadn't leapt so quickly "
Yes. Because if you do something that fits a known pattern in /good/ PR firm circles
you trigger a reaction. The reaction might happen anyway, but you almost guarantee it.
However, it could be unwitting, self motivated or organised, that does not matter. The
point is the pattern is set. :-) Without the aide-de-camp posting so quickly in a thread
it would have played much better. However that is "spin doctoring" of another kind.
> BBRV did exactly the right thing in reporting the story and getting out there with their take on events first.
Who is complaining about that? Of course its the right thing to do.
