They have been wonderful partners, but the only reason to morn their leaving this early in the game is fear of change. As pointed out in the first post and many subsequent ones, there ARE reasons to suspect first's leaving IFI, and as a group of innovative, thinking people... Why not discuss the future?

Speculation in and of itself isn't terrible, of course, but the source of such speculation can lead to problems. If someone has access to privileged information and shares that information with someone else, they've made an error in judgement. That error is somewhat mitigated, you might say, if the person they share it with has some sense of responsibility or appreciation for that privileged information and what it means to those it belongs to. Running to the internet and writing, "I heard," or "someone told me," could be a great way to get someone fired or worse.
I merely cautioned folks to think carefully about what information they think they might have and whether it's prudent to share it on this public forum.
