Public relations is not my job, and I try to stay out of nontechnical discussions. I just want to obvserve that if Apple *did* get in the habit of contradicting every false rumor, then every interesting rumor that they *didn't* contradict would be assumed true. I don't particularly *like* secrets, but if I were running a company I don't think I would go around commenting on rumors. -- David A.
