Very good points, Hamo. I had the thought of an editor having possibly cut out Tiki Central due to issues with word count, space, relevancy, and who knows what. Anything could have happened. I have been interviewed on more than one occasion and found that the writer or editor had taken some pretty wild liberties with the truth to make the story more exciting. I was left with a bit of explaining to do when friends, family, and co-workers read the articles.

Yep, editors do this all the time! I've had interviews with print media journalists in which I was name-dropping sponsors for certain events, and the editor cropped out some (but not all) of them to save space, and it required some explanation to those sponsors who didn't appear in the article. Very frustrating!
