After trying one of our earlier riddles, a visitor was inspired to create this:

You surely need me to make a point sound
I could save time or ease your workday
Rumour-mongers in the market pass me around
When you are satisfied you give me away.

What am I?

Thanks for submitting, I-TFTD.

(since many in the US will be busy with the election on Tuesday, will unmask submitted answers Wednesday, right before we put up the really neat comic strip puzzle we’ve been working hard on)
