Eric: OT. I agree totally with you on a responsible approach to rumors and the complete freedom to discuss and thoroughly challenge them on the threads, which should be self-governing. At this point the VARL "takeover" rumor has no more basis in fact than it did when it first surfaced--it remains a completely unsubstantiated rumor. Its only substance is that it exists and that's only because it's discussed. Rumors are like cockroaches--they should be squashed at first sight. And for me, this rumor is hereby rendered a spot on the dark kitchen floor---SQUISH! Starowl

When "rumors" are reported in print or TV they become by law, material fact. Where is this "law"? vigorously challenge them as to the source, but do not censor them on this or any other thread. I did. The fella backed away from his assertions. SSB also backed away from spreading rumors. but do not censor them on this or any other thread. This thread is pretty good. Why mar it with hyperbole? Would you not rather have facts to work with rather than the crud that fouls up the Yahoo boards? I always find it interesting the folks that show up on boards once the stock has run 300%. Good Grief.
