Tired of the press and their bad news about your company? You could do what MarchFirst recently did: block access to press releases. Visitors attempting to see news at the bankrupt companys Web site (www.marchfirst.com) are greeted with a box prompting them for a user name and password. The site doesnt appear to provide information on how to obtain those items.

Theres also a disclaimer: “Information on this site may be outdated or incorrect. Do not rely on this information for investment decisions or other purposes.” That would have been useful advice six months ago.
