1- I have no financial interest in CF so my motivation is simply to help people.
2- I get info as parts of friendly dialogue and conversation. I only post what A) I think is appropriate, B) I've gotten the ok to relay or is from enough solid sources, and C) Isn't or won't be posted by others in a certain timeframe. If I posted everything everybody says, nobody would be talking to me. A lot of what goes on has no place being discussed publicly. Prime example is Leath/JP spat - I eluded to Leath's role for weeks but didn't discuss the friction as it serves Iowa State no service having it public.
3- And then there is the fact that I personally don't like attention or having to explain myself, despite popular belief, and therefor leave it up to other most of the time.
As far as I'm concerned, and I would bet most on here would agree, your info is greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work and never compromise on your integrity with those who trust you just to satisfy a few knuckleheads on here who clearly don't understand what the words "trust" and "integrity" truly mean.
