Who do any of you think you are kidding?
Anyone could be a cop/narc regardless of rapport, # of posts, attitude, etc. Even mods could be cops. I suspect that professionals that are working stings are not stupid, they will work the boards, no the lingo, post about cycles they are interested in etc.
Bottom line here is this: We know next to nothing.
Any source discussion is subject to a sting period, I don't care how much the guy talks about juicin' this and juicin' that, I don't care if you met the guy at the gym, the risk is there. You no nothing about the online buddy next to you except in the rare circumstance or you truly know a guy online, like some people do-but that is another story.
I truly appreciate the source info I have been privvy to and will not give it out. I will and have discussed sources gone-bad or sources-busted with a couple mods, but will not give out my sources.
The boards are a paradox, they are sources for source info exchanges, but they cannot be trusted-not 100%, even though it occurs successfully, you never know.
