If I were to divulge that I'm aware of such private conversations, then I would expose others' betrayal of Shack's confidence, and he would become aware of that. I'd be throwing my sources under the bus, and that's bad form.

If you're not bound by the same ethics, then please enlighten us as to what you've heard.

But there's no point in implying that you have heard something without disclosing it...it makes you look like you're full of shit.

My recollection is that he did not say that several times, and he did not say it out of the blue. It was a reply within a thread. Since you quoted him above, post a link to that quote and I'll be happy to review the thread and explain to you why.[/QUOTE]
