Like with any information you ever hear, consider the source.A post on an internet message board (by a poster that's pretty unknown, and knowing him from another board you even say it seems out-of-character) that posts a highly controversial/questionable fact, with truth asserted as being a "friend of a friend" type story, where the original source would have to place himself in considerable jeopardy to reveal the information, you have to treat the information as extremely unreliable.</blockquote>
