People will go to great lengths to spread a rumor. That being said i don't blame the person for false info but its been so many hours and at least he/she should have backed it up.

Also i do have a feeling that it is somehow a lost cause, i believe that one should not be desperate about results but this one is taking quite a while. It just shows the behavior of the organization. If their recruiting process is this much slow/unresponsive at a time where they attract candidates, how will they treat you when you become their employee.

Also i bet that the SBP will announce the result for YPIP before they announce the candidates lists.
