Is this legit?

**N* S* <T*@PlantSoup.Com>**

Anyone know these folks?  I attempted to follow directions to be  
added to the distribution list and noticed that when I clicked  
"editor@greennewswire.com,  the email address that popped up was to  
Steve@trusty.bz.  In addition, there is no website for  
greennewswire.com.

Hmmm... is this legit?

> “In the garden center industry, there is a ranking focused on  
> dollars that also includes big-box retailers,” says Richard Jones,  
> Group Editor of Today’s Garden Center. “We decided we would create

> tremendous.”
