@mttaggart @ifin i think that comes into the gray area of "what's sharing broadly"?

Using NetScaler as a model, the IFIN blog or Intel feed is definitely broad, and mentioning it to my friend the NetScaler guru definitely isn't. But is posting it to my ~600 followers, when maybe 50% of them aren't active on a given day, 50% of active aren't in infotech or infosec, 75% of those don't have Citrix in their org, are those 40 people (who may not work with it) broad? Or the 600 i could possibly reach? Does that change if the audience is smaller but a tighter match for relevancy, e.g. post in the General category of IFIN's forum acknowledging the rumor and asking what others are seeing, or the chat?

To my earlier statement, I think this is another case where there is a broad arc with a number of reasonable differences of opinion on where the threshold is, and so that's going to be a judgement call every time, for every person. It's worth recognizing that in absence of a clear standard that's part of e.g. community rules, everyone will draw that line differently, and it's a place for everyone to give grace when they inevitably disagree with someone's judgement about what is sharing vs broadly sharing, and whether they think the person sharing should have waited or come forward sooner.
