There are many reasons why our editors may not post your release; the main
reason we reject "press releases" are:
#1 - It's an ad or sales letter, not a press release.
#2 - Content is pasted from a document that is not compatible with html
(i.e. pasted from MS Word directly into our html form). To

Note to editor: This release updates my previous post with the title: XXX
(your title).
If you ordered one of our distribution plans
(paid plans) and want to issue a retraction or update to the media
you must order a new release,
otherwise your update will only be posted to our websites and auto feeds
(RSS, XML).

submit the release
and place an official note in the title like so:
Company Name - Corrections to our previous release issued on June, 00, 2009
- titled - XXX XXX XXX (note: this only applies to paid submission).
