13. He already knows that

He doesn't need me to tell him that until he makes the announcement, it is not official.

12. I "made it sound" like it official? like how?
I was just amazed that the info was posted on wiki before even the text message went out.

it seemed interesting and kind of amazing and so I share it and everyone's panties get totally bunched.

WTF?

21. You made yourself sound stupid with that comment, unofficially of course.

3. Anonymous sources
are not credible cites.

They should fire the editor.

6. And, that is misinformation!
ABC reported that a source said the Secret Service was sent to Biden's home. All else is inference, they write!

8. Whatever. I always consider the source, and regard it accordingly. so what?
Geesh.. I was just sharing info cuz it blew my mind it was already on Wiki, even before the email.

I didn't mean to rub salt in anyone's fresh wounds, honest. But it appears I have done so.

My sincere apology.

23. No.
I went to wiki when I heard Biden was "the one" ... just to see what I might not know about
him ... and saw it there just as the news was breaking on CNN, and thought it was amazing;
but it wasn't me that posted it .. honest.

19. Ignore the idiots.
Some people take things far to seriously and obviously read a lot of things in to a simple post.
