                              has been awash with unfounded rumors that LCW has

                              visits to the LCW website; the number of visitors 
                              spiraled from 60,000 a month to 280,000 in five 
                              days. On the face of it that sounds like good 
                              news, but not if it is coupled with a 15% drop in
