Thanks for your input. Hearsay is often inaccurate and the more it is passed on, the more out of the realm of reality it becomes. Facts are always appreciated.

One of the training classes I used to participate in did an example of how hearsay changes as it is passed on. We would have 12-20 people sitting around a table and one of the trainers would whisper to one person at the table a short 1-2 sentence statement. This person would then pass this statement along, whispering and no writing, to the next person and so on until it made the entire round. I do not recall one instance of the initial statement making it around the table without something being left out, something being added or the FACTS of the initial statement being totally changed.
