That being said, good sources are like good business men-- they either suck up the losses that they have (which invariably happens) so that they can keep their customers(which will pay in the long run) or they get out with apologies(perhaps some refunds- they give up the business)...

Yes, Macro, random as they may be, they are nevertheless generally on target.
...and the best sources manage to keep their friends, with whom they have communicated over months in the elegant international language of business (English), despite their own business problems; to clients who've paid their hard-earned money for their source's stuff, along with his integrity of character.
And an excellent source can and will suck up incredible losses in the process of making ALL his obligations good (sources get screwed, too), just like any really honest businessman. He won't bullshit his client friends or make whingy apologies.
And if and when he returns, he'll know who is friends are because he didn't lose any. And he'll damned sure know who screwed him.
My random thoughts.
I think it's the Nootropil (a smart drug I regularly take along with 1000 mcg of B-12 and 100mg of B-6 per day). Now that I'm healthy again, my mind is like a razor. All those bizarre events of the past are taking on a crystal clarity.
