I would go with leave it alone. I think that dis-information, in the times
at least, is definatly part of the game. I never trust anything I read in the
times. Only private email do I take seriously. But I think dis-information
should be kept to the times, or private email, and out of other public forums,
or we end up with flame wars, like the one starting in rec.games.pbm.
