Yes, they told us exactly what they could. It was a rumor. I certainly don't
remember anyone ever saying "No, those rumors are false". Only, "Yes, we know
it's a rumor". Palm never lied. I think in this case you misinterpreted those
comments (or, "no comments", as they were), and passed on incorrect information
that you inferred from the lack of information.
It's time to admit to yourself that what happened between you and your clients
has nothing to do with what anyone at Palm said.
