Its a shame since there was a fair amount of interesting stuff that showed up from time to time. Of course, there was a lot of negative stuff obviously posted by disgruntled people or those who felt that they could sit in judgement of others. Unfortunately, I guess it all got beyond the usual internet approach of - if you don't like it - don't read it. The very name - rumour mill - gave pretty clear warning not to take it too seriously. This site has been relatively quiet lately. Its hard to believe that nothing exciting is going on in diagnostics. Perhaps the closing of the rumour mill will result in more postings here, although we can hope that the disguntled, vindictive and conceited will take their business elsewhere.
