Joe, I can think of 2 other times, years apart, that Storm or associates of some kind (like an ad agency) put out the same rumors (widespread). This was thought to be a trick marketing manuver to get guys to buy up a lot of the Wiggle Warts in stock around the country. It worked. And they weren't discontinued - haha. That takes up some individual's budget for plugs and then they don't buy as many of the competition's plugs (such as size 35 Hot Shots). Could this be the same typw of marketing ploy by an exec that moved along with the new ownership? Maybe not. But I won't be rushing to buy a bunch of them!
