Don't do it!

We're of two minds on this: On the one hand, sending an e-mail to us begging us not to post about is such an obvious ploy that we're tempted to ignore it completely. On the other hand, who would be dumb enough to think it would work? Honestly, who would be dumb enough to buy Mediabistro? It's all a big mystery; if you've heard anything, let us know.
