Hmmmm, given John does this site and maintains this forum at not inconsiderable personal expense, I'd say it was the other way round.
Even were the rumour (singular) true, which I doubt, he can't confirm or deny every bit of tittle rattle. He'd soon lose the considerable trust the band have in him. It's their job to confirm / deny / announce, no-one else's.
As Richard correctly points out, this site is created, administered and financed by a fan for fans and is independant from the band and its members.
With that said i do have other roles for the band members that i am asked to do from time to time and that is a seperate thing all together.
They are obviously completely aware of the site and support the site by way of information at times. This information can at times come with an embargo until an agreed time and that is something I have to respect.
One thing I will always say is that I never withhold information of interest to the fans that I can make public. I make information public when the agreed time comes or if I see information online from other sources.
Another point I will make is that I am not privvy to all prospective plans of the band and its members and some information is as much a surprise to me as it is to anyone here when it is seen elswhere.
I will sum up the above with the following
I don't publish or confirm information for one of two reasons:
(1) I have an embargo on that information and will not break that trust
(2) I simply don't know or haven't been told
The reverse of that is:
I publish only what I know and what I can, as soon as I can.....not a second less.
