Making suggestive posts while you know some people will interpret it as "the holy truth" and spread it further (without the added notes), is worse than even posting the literal source post without anything added/removed.
Can you point to me were I ever made a suggestive post saying that the list was true ? I don't remember doing anything remotely like that. All I have claimed to be true is that MSN Messenger 8 is in development.
In one of my previous posts I posted the chain of the posts, each forum/guy who posted it added and/or removed some lines. To an outsider, the post is suggestive and makes you believe the list is absolutly correct. When people read such things, they don't go reading the small print or wondering where did the list originated from. All they read is "feature list of msn messenger 8". And they may copy the list without the added important small print (if there is any in the first place).
Because of that you need to be very carefull in making such posts and its better not to make them or at least make a perfect word for word copy without anything added by yourself. There are many examples where people twist around facts in a slightly way (intended or not). And by reading/posting this over and over again the facts get twisted around a lot and in the end you end up with something entirly different then what was meant originally.
Read all the threads (on this forum and the other forums) to have an idea of how people interpret the list. You'll see that many see the list as a complete official feature list.
