There is no doubt that the industry is consolidating, and I have been saying all along that this is the year of mergers. There will be lots of them and I would not be surprised if referback and fortune did merge.
But you are still spreading rumors, and this is a professional board.
If you have a problem with fortune, you need to talk to them in their forum. That’s what it’s there for, among other things.
If you have rumors or conspiracy theories and such, they belong in the free for all section.
If and when you can get confirmation from referback and/or fortune, or find a press release or some sort of other proof, that’s the time to post.
I am not saying it’s not true, I am saying it is an unproven rumor, one of many out there. I hear these sort of things all the time, and sometimes they turn out to be true, and sometmes they don’t.
As professional, I wait for proof before I post and get people all excited.
