- Now David, are you sure that's correct? You certainly must know that the
- rumor mongers disagree with you. I wouldn't be the one to dispell their
- rumors and ruin the intense glee they've exhibited with that particular
- rumor. David, David, David...get ready...they're not going to believe
- you. hehe

- Canada would be closed.

- Don't feel so bad. Look at what ST Report did: they published the rumors
- off of the TAF BBS saying that the place would be closed by Aug 5th, AND
- an apology from Ron Luks of CompuServe saying that Atari Canada was NOT
- closed.
-
- Apparently this contradiction didn't require clarification in the eyes of
- the publisher of ST Report. And *you* feel stupid? His issue came out
- AFTER August 5th, he could have easily verified Atari Canada was in
- business by either calling them or faxing them. Instead all he did is
- spread contradictory rumors.
-
- Typical.
