Message: [QUOTE="JMick, post: 2569035, member: 6467"] it's pretty simple. for example I know John. John knows a staff member/athletic department person/a player/former player/friend of a player, etc. John tells me he heard rumor 'x.' Then I'm talking to someone on the boneyard. Boneyard member mentions the same rumor 'x' that John told me about. Then I talk to my coworker. Coworker also mentions rumor 'x.' So I know for certain that John and coworker are not the same person. Could John or the coworker be the boneyard member I talked to? It's highly unlikely, but even if true there's still two separate sources repeating rumor 'x' That doesn't mean the rumor didn't originate from the same place, but given the circumstances it's pretty unlikely. It also doesn't make the rumor true, but it does lend a little more credibility. Especially when John, Boneyard member, and coworker are usually on the same page in terms of stories/rumors/information [/QUOTE]
