Maybe its my fault for being a business analyst, but i just dont see much 'fact' on this forum that is certifliable fact.

So pepole who live this sh1t and report about what happens around them aren't allowed to state what they see, hear and experience as fact? Where do facts come from in the first place? The people who are there doing it and involved with the scene. Its up to you to weed out things that aren't relevant to you and your part of the world. This site is sort of a global gathering, theres people on here from many continents so what may be fact for someone in London may not apply to someone in Philly.

This isn't a corporate meeting at Sony, nobody is even getting paid for their time to post here let alone research things in depth to include quoted "facts" in their posts. Those doods at corporate labels probably make half of their sh1t up to please their bosses anyway! We don't need to please anyone here, some people probably even like to piss each other off ;)
