Actually, you're aren't just "passing it along."
"Passing it along" is mentioning it in an ongoing thread.
You're "updating" and "pinging" people to draw attention to what I think are your thoughts.
And, frankly, unless you can come up with something to back up you assertions, I think you should stop: you're only adding UNSOURCED information to the discussion.
I'm going over to the Tony Snow thread to see if there's any scuttlebutt there.
