[Shotimes] This Forbes guy don't know squat

[bobsteig@att.net]

Don, 
So I Google searched Paul Lienert, came up with a 
Paul, a Phil, and a Dan Lienert. They must be from 
the same family 'cause the 3 of 'em shared a byline 
in the Detroit Free Press on a story from the '02 
Detroit Auto Show. Now if I can only remember what 
it was about Paul or Phil that sticks in my mind as 
being, I don't know, maybe slightly scandalous? 
Anyway I guess these guys have descended into 
hackdom, writing for the sake of selling, not for 
content. Next stop National Inquirer...

Best, Bob


Bob,

I am sure it is the same guy, I recognize the name too. 
Having been in the industry a while, he should know better 
that to put forward the junk he did, I assume only to fill 
space?
