Yo, danny...don't think for a second I'm (and hopefully the others) trying to chase you away, far from it.
LLM's like a Kodak greyscale card. There are the Zealots...you've probably sussed a couple of them...and there are the guys who play the game exactly as it says on the tin (Forum Header) with no cheating, tipping or bragging.
ALL are welcome in here, the guidelines are there as guidance, not as hard-fast rules (the Rules of the Forum - posting rules - are set in stone, however)
If you feel that knowing Joe Bloggs from a local Team means you can scout him, then sobeit, that's your slant on realism.
As you see, though, it's probably better to keep it to yourself. The discussion's fine, but don't attempt to change our minds...never happen.
...and the Nobel Prize shot was a bit cheap
