This is exactly right.  Insider information is awesome and appreciated and part of what makes this place worth coming to.  Those priviledged with access are doing the board a great service when they post, and they should be accorded respect and gratitude from those, like me, who have no such access and enjoy learning about these things.
 
However, if you have information, then share it and stand behind it.  Don't be mealy mouthed.  Either you know something or you don't.  Either you feel like you can share it in good conscience or you can't.  State what you know and be up front with what is speculation.  Solid information is respected.  Posters who like to dangle partial bits of information while making clear they know more but can't say aren't doing anyone a service.  While I realize to that poster it may feel like he/she is simply trying to divulge as much information as they can, but that poster needs to realize that it comes off as self glorifying and attention seeking.
 
It is reminescient of back in elementary school when there was a kid who would go all around the class letting every kid know they knew a secret and would drop hints at how awesome and interesting the secret was and would say just enough to hook the interest of everyone but when pressed would simply say they were not at liberty to say.  Nobody ever liked that kid, and that kid would rightfully be accused of being an attention seeker.
 
Honestly, I think if some more care and attention was given to how information was divulged, a lot of these problems would disappear.
 
Just my two cents.
 
Go Syracuse!
