However, the tip's position is somehow too prominent and may actually take away some attention from the number one search result.

Interesting to see that people are starting to get annoyed with all this now.

For me, this is clearly abuse and breaking of standards since I no longer have access to the attachment.

Even my mainstream media contacts are emailing and texting me for leads . The holidays are usually slow news days (well, except for the Taiwan quake that borked our ‘net connections).

People only started to notice this when they added the orange "B" to the message. I do not see this as a big deal (as Yahoo! and others also do the same). If this is so bad, then why didn't people complain before when the tips were only text? Note: Google does similar "tips" with News, Groups, etc. I think people are only reporting this because it is a slow news day. Google has been doing this for a while.
