Of course it was Skip that posted the link to the Union Leader article for "further details regarding the recent indictment" that he later said was "mangled by inappropriate editing". Nice research.

If it comes from the media then it must be correct?

The media do make frequent mistakes in reporting. They go with what they think they know even if it is incorrect. You kept trying to get the forum to answer questions based on incorrect information, even after it was pointed out that it was likely to be incorrect.

Skip initially pointed out a source of information. When he realized that that source was incorrect and causing confusion he pointed out that it was incorrect, explained what was going on, and referenced a more reliable source. This was both helpful and responsible.

Further, this is a discussion forum. No one here is obligated to provide "researched" answers. We share our knowledge freely and sometimes go beyond the call and dig up more info when we can. Newspapers and other media on the other hand DO have a public obligation to provide factual information and not just gossip.

There was no snarkiness involved unless you are carrying a big chip on your shoulder.
