So if I say that I know Hudsons dog and he says that Hudson is a good bloke because I happen to have taken the ball and thrown it once at a beach one time with the dog, is that proof that its a good source?
Without anyone wanting to commit their actual name to anything on these forums, everything is pretty much hearsay because there is no proof. For the example, how can you take Nelfoos as gospel when no one knows who he is, where he works or who he works with? I'm not calling him a liar but its not concrete. For all I know Austin11 could be Bill Tuiloma! I have no idea. I think I have seen a couple of posters that do post under their name and then a smattering that don't hide there names (most of moderators)
Just because someone says something and that they know someone, does not make it gospel.
That's fair, and its perfectly reasonable to be skeptical. My profile is linked to my twitter, so depending on the strength of your google-fu you can probably find out where I work and who else works here, but I'm not willing to do that heavy lifting for anyone else.
If someone does figure it out I'm sure she would prefer to remain anonymous so please don't trumpet who it is all over the forums, or else I might lose my source!
Additionally, anything I am being told is only getting on the forums 3rd hand, so take ebverything with a grain of salt. I never asked anyone to take my word as gospel.
