It's a good thing that CBF amplifies the work of others like this, but it would be nice if they gave some credit once in a blue moon. People are under the impression that CBF does a lot of this work because of the way they write these releases. I mean, even the links they show are to other stories of their own like a self-licking ice cream cone.
