You-all, parts of this thread are bothering the heck out of me. Partly because this isn't a news-discussion board, and partly due to my personal bias against speculation based on too little information.
Let me emphasize news discussion. When awful things have happened before, we have remarked on them, and expressed concern, and in my opinion that falls into the special-case category of non-language posting. But there is something about this "it could be this, or might be that" business that kind of gets to me.
However, if everybody but me wants to keep on, that's ok; I can always skip it. But I wanted to let you all know my thoughts.
