I mean that people who say "this is what I heard" or "this is what I read", without giving others a chance to evaluate what *you* are basing your opinions on, are less likely to pay as much credence to your remarks as you might like. Unsubstantiated comments come across like rumors, innuendo, and FUD rather than sincere questions. Search the archives of this list and you will see classic examples of a person who illustrates this behavior pattern, and gets ignored by a wide part of the community *because* of that behavior. If you heard something, tell us *where* you heard it and *who* said it. Otherwise, nobody has a clue whether it is something we should pay attention to, or whether it is just noise. Craig
