Northpoint to begin structured sale > Likely speculation

Re: Likely speculation

I think you are mistaking a site news article with forum posts ...
FYI: stuff contributed to the home page is usually deleted before it sees the light of day if it is unsupported or unverifiable. For every story there, there are about 10 that are ignored.
In addition, stuff published to the home page without a "spotted by" line, does not even come from a news page submission. This did not come from a user submission.

If anyone submitted a story saying "I heard that AT&T is buying NorthPoint", it would not be published.
If anyone submitted a story saying "I spoke to deep throat, and they said X", it would not be published.

When not including a link, our journalistic due diligence is clearly and necessarily less than a national newspaper, but not down with an anyone can say anything forum.
