I've always said that one should consider all available information. But you talk as if official information from the feds and chatter on these forums hold equal weight. They don't. Not even close. Especially when one considers how many posers and pretenders we've seen come and go over the years. Look no further than the guy who started this thread as a good example.

And, by the way, deferring to the feds in no way makes one an "FBI wannabe." It simply shows common sense, good judgement, and a lack of gullibility that have plagued too many suckers on the boards.
