I understand that PR is important for you. However TheKompany already gets 
more PR on our news site than any other contributing company like Caldera, 
SuSE or Mandrake. All of which pay developers to work on KDE. So there are 
two solutions to this problem. Either stop PR postings all together or give 
all companies involved the same amount of PR. As the dot is an independent 
news site and not a PR relay I vote for the first solution.

Greetings,
Matthias
