Funny, I never would have imagined that it was a Yahoo group.

Another funny thing about it is the number of positive articles about CAP.  Of course, you have to read it to find that out.

It's not exactly. It uses Yahoo and Google and other message groups to send out regular emails.

The one article up today supposedly about the NTC folks definitely isn't positive.  I would think they would at least try to do some checking of whether it's true before putting that out.

That would require some form of journalistic integrity

I don't know that it is negative either.  They did put a disclaimer on it that they hadn't checked it out, and it also appeared with a byline of one of their editorial writers.  All that aside, your objection is noted.  I said there was a good percentage of positive stories; I didn't say they were all positive.

When you're a fake news service that copies all your actual news from legitimate sources there aren't too many good outlets for your product.

You assume that there was even a meeting today. Even that "fact" has not been verified by anybody.
So I wouldn't get too antsy about it. We could be waiting for another 90 days for something to happen.

So, this could be an elaborate HOAX!   >:(

I thought it be best to give my fellow CAPTalk members the benefit of the doubt. If you read above this post you quoted, I did ask if what was published by NOTF was even confirmed. Regardless of whether of not there was a meeting today, it'll be interesting to see what the outcome is.

So... print anything you want, as long as you put a disclaimer in?

The jungle telegraph, latrine-o-gram, RUMINT is hard at work again! I've learned long ago that it ain't official until the announcement is made. So don't hold yer breath waiting for your face to turn shades of TPU blue.  ;D

Unfortunately, the mouthpiece for space alien/vampire baby stories at the checkout counter of your local supermarket, the Weekly World News ceased hard-copy publication a couple of months ago.  ;D

I'm telling you, this is going to be "resolved" about 10 minutes before the August 2009 National Board meeting begins!
