If I wanted to know what the deal was with a particular poster -- but didn't want to raise a stink about it publicly -- is there someone here who can give a reasonable, fair assessment?  Or who can fill me in on a particular backstory here on the Forum? 

Sometimes, y'all get to talking about something or someone and I haven't a clue.  Most of the time, it's not that important but if it has a bearing on something I want to get across, I might want a sounding board.

Who would YOU go to for the straight dope?

I guess it depends on the poster. You could got to some but they might not be likely to tell while otherse would spill the beans and alot more in between.

I would say that.  It really depends on the poster you want information about.

Having been around the track, here and there, the best guide is the content of the posts by the poster in and of itself. There is no substitute, and one rapidly begins to fathom who has something to offer, and who doesn't. JMO.

Only PM Humble Men for information on me. Everything else is a lie, obviously.

Since we seem to be putting qualifications, nobody over 15 knows anything about me.

It depends what you need. I can be a reliable source, it just depends on the situation.

Pete is never out of it. Well. Not in that sense anyway.
