THREADS: Please take a min. to read this {re: rumors}:
Yesterday, len grasso posted on the FORE thread:
"UNCONFIRMED !
Rumor has it that FORE has rejected Ericsson's bid."
By doing so, he has received considerable wrath from some, and various responses from others.
A few days ago, the good people on the No Rest for the Wicked and FORE threads pulled together in the best example ever seen online of people using there heads, online resources and care for each other to figure-out and properly react to a fraudulent news story [ENC/PAIR] -- 2 hours before the "breaking news" appeared on CNBC.
Given that example, several of us think it is important to work together set some constructive guidelines for reporting what we hear.
MANY of us are either in the computer industry, know people who are, and/or are closely connected to stock brokers or people in media. MANY of us hear the kinds of things len posted, AND post what we hear.
Would len have been more responsible and caring to have NOT posted what he heard?
I answer "NO" ! {I imagine len is answering a resounding "YES"! :) :) } While I only know him from this thread, he has been a responsible, contributing member of SI for almost 3 yrs. [longer than I have], he clarified it better at the outset {UNCONFIRMED}than anyone I have seen {including you, Tim}.
Should anyone who has read the "len-lashings" now be reluctant to post what he/she hears?
Thoughts from the rest of you?
Thanks ..... have a great weekend. It's a beautiful day in the Heartland ..... perfect for checking the flowers for the bouquet.
