From the management here at PP:

We here at Pretermitting Pleasantries, or PP, as it is affectionately known by the staff, strive to provide only the best in news and entertainment for our viewers. Recently, it has come to my attention that a wayward staffer, disguised as Mr. The Buffalo (myself), published this article. As a minority shareholder and on-again-off-again CFO, I have absolutely no authority to issue a formal retraction or removal of the article. However, all of our PP readers and viewers should know that I, personally, do not condone such publications and if I could, I would immediately take the post off of the Internet. At PP, there will be absolutely no Potter-bashing of any shape or form. I myself own several Harry Potter lunch boxes and the collectible 6-tape, limited edition, boxset of audiobooks (the ones with James Earl Jones as narrator.)

Moreover, I have been informed by the management that as a result of this terrible oversight, Dan Rather will be resigning (again) as chief anchor and on-again-off-again CFO, which means that I will once again be taking that position. In that respect, I would like to announce that I will be cutting all funds dedicated to anti-Potter posts and creating a pro-Potter fund for needy attorneys and children.



With the departure of Dan Rather as chief anchor, it has been brought to my attention that that position will now be filled by the actress that plays Hermione in the Harry Potter films. (PP is an equal opportunity employer.) Welcome aboard!



Here at PP, we are committed to excellence in entertainment. You, the viewer, are our highest concern and your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you feel that you have not gained total satisfaction from PP, or would simply like to voice your concern over matters related to PP, please feel free to do so. But please, only comment on PP-related content, as our guarantee only extends to PP. Thank you.
