State of the Board

Yeah, we can test it easily. I know Lance has at least a couple of sock accounts he uses for testing; we could test on one of those, for example. But do we need to now? If I'm following this correctly, the reason to do so is to discover whether one of us released the fact we can read PMs. Right? But even if we can demonstrate that the members couldn't figure it out from the time stamps, I don't see how we can prove it was one of us - unless we read the email and PMs of all of us.

I have a problem with that. We only read members' stuff if we have reasonable grounds to suspect something - and then only the PMs or emails directly related to the reasonable suspicion. I would want at least the same standard for all of us. So, this would be one time we might want to let sleeping dogs lie.

 
I hear ya, Frank. It's probably not worth it.

I was more just curious than anything. General nerdery..

I think the only reason to test anything would be to satisfy a curiosity. There's no need.

I highly doubt it was one of us. Either these guys guessed, or they were told by the recently-discovered mole/leak person. Those are the two most likely scenarios.

 
Guys, I'm sitting in a legislative committee meeting (it's the legislative session here in Arkansas, and for the next three months will be busy) and have to head out to testify and meet with the unwashed...er, I mean the legislators. I'll try and get back on later tonight.

No, we don't need to. Just general nerdery, as Dave said. If that's how it works, it's something to be mindful of in the future. A member almost certainly deduced this on his own, and how he did isn't really all that important. I mentioned the timestamps thing because it seems like the most logical explanation. I wasn't suggesting that anybody here leaked the information, if that's what it was interpreted as.
