When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.
The name of this post comes from a line near the end of the first rate movie: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. It is pretty relevant as there has been a spate of Moon Maiden sightings on the net (one of which we fell for ourselves) in the last week.
This is one of the weaknesses of the net in the sense that news that is published too quickly and too raw might not be complete. On the plus side stuff that is put out falsely can be picked up in a hurry.
Just remember the net is made of postings by people, and people by their nature love to tell a story. It's easy to get caught into a story that fits your worldview or as a fellow I once knew said:
There are three sides to every story, your side , my side and the truth.
Remember there is a lot of info out there read and use it carefully.
