gwk Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Once again, if your going to comment on an accident, be very careful what your going to say. We are all very interested and concerned for those involved, but a public forum is not the place for speculation and rumors. Remember, alot of times the families of those involved are watching this forum for information, and nobody would want to unduly hurt them any further. I hope everyone is OK, and back in the bar this evening. GWK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
