Re: the rumor site vs. DC argument - I'm from Canada, where Target just announced they're closing all of their stores and 17,000 employees are losing their jobs. I was told today by an employee that anyone who wasn't at work that day found out through the news and the internet. And most of them aren't very happy about it and have a lot of questions that they're not getting answers to. And in this case, it was legitimate news, not a rumor site, so I can only imagine how much worse it was at DC.
Well, that sucks. And it especially sucks to hear about that sort of information trough outside channels.
