     Come on Matthew -- you know damn well I was the one who heard the 
rumor. You ought to, anyway, since I was the one who told it to you. The
number of false, unsubstantiated rumors on this newsgroup makes me sick.
People ought to check and see if they have a real rumor, or just heard
something from somebody before they post this kind of garbage!
