determine the integrity of the source. So they sling crap at them because they don't want to invest the hope. They can't take the disappointment. They refuse to believe that anyone has good information. There are tones carried out on board as if those who refuse to believe anything are somehow smarter, more wise, more discerning. Get over yourselves. Anyone can be a critic. Again, doubters cannot vett a source any better than insiders can convince you. They are sharing because there is interest. At least have respect for that variable and the choice to believe it or not.

I get being cautious. Most of these insiders, as CalGTR said, add the caveat that until it is announced by TH and Bowlsby, they are optimistic and hopeful. That's it. There are people who have family or close friends in the AD that have seen paperwork, heard things, know things about the process or what has transpired. How is that so unbelievable?

I do get weary of the insecure tools who echo what insiders have provided as their own or their "sources". And of course there are the "shotgun" fools who make every claim possible so they can shout they told us so. These clowns are as weak as they come and their desperation for attention is deplorable.
