Believe what you will, I hold no allegiance to anyone here, and could easily keep the emails to myself for my own friends. By posting the contents of my emails also puts me at risk, but whatever. I posted them to inform the coastal people of what's going on in they're backyard, and to make them aware of events. Matters not to me whether you believe me or not, it is what it is. No, I will NOT give you his name, NO I will NOT forward the email to anyone for them to harvest the original IP.
Remember one thing, I have no agenda, unlike many here, and just passed on what was sent to me for MY own info. At this point, whether the OP returns or not, to me is a mute point, my source says it's real, that's good enough for me.
