I absolutely agree with Nelson. He's the voice of sanity on this board and
knows a helluva lot more than most of us! Much of what we read in the organ
world can be categorized as "Who cares?", "It's none of your damn business"
, and "Grow up, Mary!"

Interesting question Noel. Since you asked, here's my opinion...
I think controversy can be constructive and interesting, and by definition
involves matters of opinion. Where there are opinions, there will be
disagreement--sometimes it's interesting and a good discussion will ensue.
(Side note and case in point: the current TAO cover showing a digital organ
has certainly provoked a watershed of disagreement--on Facebook and other
forums--that got quite vitriolic, and very denigrating to the digital organs
that we admire. That's OK--and the natural consequence is that I now see
certain individuals as complete fools with rather bad attitudes!).
Rumors, however, are speculative and what is true vs. untrue cannot be known
at the moment. If this forum is going to be a credible and useful source of
information for Rodgers users, speculative information must be filtered out,
simply because this is a "users" group--none of the members can speak
officially or authoritatively for Rodgers.
Furthermore, any Rodgers employees who participate on this list are not
going to make statements or provide information that is not already publicly
available--you can't expect Rodgers to use this forum for "rumor control."
There are plenty of other sources for speculative information for those so
inclined--this list will be more respected and useful if it is not one of
them. Moderating (filtering) the postings to eliminate stuff that crosses
the line is the right approach IMO. Let's be honest: there some people in
the organ world who make a career of spreading FUD....usually for
competitive purposes. The Rodgers User Group list should not be one of
their outlets.
