I heard 3rd hand that Tower Hobbies is filing Chapter 11, but cannot find any references on the 'Net (and refuse to pay a web site $40 to do a search of a public record). Has anyone heard anything about this? I know GP and TH are 'the same but seperate' entities, but hope this is just a rumor and not true for the consumer side of their operations.

In any event, heavyplasma.com does fake news stories, so I'd tend to believe that this story was fake too.

Obviously. And thanks for trimming the very relevant part where I said that --

without that, anybody who read your post might think that I actually believed the story there :)
Oops! Sorry about that! Sliced too quick without looking carefully.

Sure explains how rumors propogate, doesn't it?

IT'S A HOAX. The story was "broken" on a website called "cnn.heavyplasma.com." If you had the opportunity to read the story (it's since been removed from the site), you'd see many telltale signs that the story was made up by an illiterate moron with a bone to pick.
It's amazing how many people think this story is credible just because the site LOOKS like a CNN page, and the letters "cnn" are in the hostname. Use your heads for a second people! CNN's domain is CNN.com. Why on earth would they have a site called "heavyplasma???" The writing was pretty bad, worse than your typical newspaper article. Are things so far down the toilet in America that people just don't recognize bad grammar anymore?
