Bloomberg is really running with this, they updated their article 3 times whle I was writing this one. If you are really interested check there for further information. --Sfullenwider 01:57, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• I'm based in Midland, MI where Dow holds it's world HQ's. I'll see if I can snag an interview with one of the "higher ups" to respond to this issue sometime this week. --MrMiscellanious – Happy New Year – 02:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Should we add that to the article somewhere along the line "Dow declined to answer a query by a Wikinews reporter, saying it is company policy not to comment on speculations"? --Deprifry|+T+ 20:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
