Rumors and the danger

I would like to remind folks that one of the most dangerous things is to spread rumors in a time of crisis. This is the time when ANYTHING posted by a non-official source or not relayed via credible news sources should not be considered reliable and should not be spread until it has been confirmed by an official source.

The danger of a gas ration rumor will cuase the equivilent of a run on the bank. If everyone runs out now and tries to get gas, they it may become a self fulfiling rumor becuase restrictions will have to be put in place to prevent stupidity from depeleting the gas supply.

Do not spread unsubstantiated rumors. If you have information, include an official source or link as backup.
