You stepped in it Peter by saying "I tend not to pay too much attention

In my experience I have seen that rumors in general tend not to be true.


Now you're deflecting as you did with nospam.

He referred to a site called Nikon Rumors which is not a site that is
about rumors but about Nikon Camera news. Yes, the name misled you, but
that was pointed out to you and then you dug your heels in and went on
another tedious nospam attack.

Possibly things have changed. The last time I looked at Nikon Rumors, it
was a rumor mill.

BS. It has always been a Nikon news site with a catchy name to attract
fans and the curious. Speculation? Sure. But not "rumours" as you're
implying.

no, 'rumors' is part of the site name. it does not define what the site
is about.

the stories on the main page as of right now include:

Now in stock: Tokina AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX lens for Nikon F mount
The Commlite Nikon F to Sony E adapter will come with autofocus and
stabilization support
Now in stock: Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art lens for Nikon F mount
New Nikkor 13mm f/1.8 lens patent for Nikon 1 mirrorless camera
The Nikon USA lens only rebates and UK summer cashback are set to
expire this week
Weekly Nikon news flash #329
Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art lens for Nikon F mount to start shipping
tomorrow in the US (in stock now in Europe)

none of those are rumours.

sometimes they do report rumours, however, they're well sourced.

learn to read. i did absolutely no selection whatsoever. those were the
stories on the main page yesterday.

i also said they might include rumours, but they are well sourced and
they say it's a rumour which means that those who don't want to read
them can simply not click the link.

I didn't think you an innocent. Most companies make sure the "rumour"
mill (industry new sources) are well filled with "rumours". This
generates fan enthusiasm, competitor envy (and mistakes) and most
importantly keeps people from spending on other brands until the widget
actually appears.

Some co's are more cagey (Apple). But even they play the game.

The "Send Tips" page is really: got rumours, suggestions, news?

Yep. That's where more than half the rumours come from.

That's not the point at issue. The question is whether or not 'Nikon
Rumours' deals in rumours. PeterN thought that they did. I cited their
home page and some content to say that *some* of their stuff is
clearly labeled rumour. nospam is arguing that their use of the word
'rumour' does not mean that they deal with rumours.

Some co's are more cagey (Apple). But even they play the game.

Don't tell nospam. He will have to burn his eyes out if he reads it.
