If you read down to the bottom of each article you will find a list of contributors. Why not contact them all and ask if their info is 'hear-say'.

As it happens, I asked Gene to try and track down Carl when he was working as a pit boss at the Horseshoe to ask some questions for me. He was no longer there.

"I assume information for the entire site was gathered in the same manner."
Thats a rather brash assumption and IMO this is where you are totally out of order.

Per you line of thinking.

1. Ebay is responsible for all items listed. If you find an item incorrectly listed I guess you assume every item on ebay is incorrectly listed.

2. You had counterfeit chips for sale as 'genuine'. Even if I accept this was an error (no different to me accepting your comments on my article) should I now assume that every chip you have for sale is counterfeit?
