Except that you're wrong.

Kunga routinely MAKES THINGS UP and reports them as fact. More recently 
he has started LABELLING his speculations as speculation, which is 
fine. I've got nothing against speculation unless it's written to 
*deliberately* mislead people.

I have the same problem with all those rumours sites who PROMISED us a 
15" G5 Powerbook on or about now. THEY LIED.

Greg Joswiak is the Apple VP of Engineering, and when he's QUOTED on a 
popular website (slashdot) as saying there's no G5 Powerbook coming 
anytime soon, I accept that as a credible source of information -- 
which makes it TOTALLY DIFFERENT than when some rumour website run by a 
15-year-old out of his parents' bedroom says that 15" portable G5s are 
already in production.

So again, since you appear to have difficulty with the concept:

Kunga: Makes things up and/or regurgitates flights of fancy from 
rumours sites, reports them as fact.

Chas: Summarises reputable reports with real quotes from real Apple 
people: when he speculates or guesses, he SAYS he's speculating or 
guessing or offering an opinion.
