Too many posters now try to protect themselves from the ridicule that comes from being the second person to report breaking news.  Even worse, many of us allow these wimps to get away with it.  I urge my fellow VSers to be unmerciful to both those who report old news and to those who apologize in advance in case they made an error.

This board has a long history of stomping on those who make an error or show the slightest sign of weakness.  Culling the heard is a great tradition, second only to embarrassing one's friends.

BTW- I hope I'm not repeating something posted earlier.
