Oh, uhh, yea; me too.  (I've already sent in a comment concerning the

I've made no commitments or entered into any sort of contractual
agreement.)

I am sure that a company with as much Internet savvy as IPG realizes
the degree to which using inappropriate attributions like that could
backfire, given the propensity of some netizens to defend their
reputations through every technological and legal means at their
