@jadmperry, one difference about all those names you listed at vB as opposed to here, they are paid employees of the company and as such logic would dictate they would have more official knowledge of the processes/company and can speak for them in an official capacity.
On a side note, vB5's release will be a watershed moment for IB. I, personally, cannot wait to watch it all unfold.
Thanks for at least a thoughtful comment. However, I would refute your point on a few bases:
- The often contradictory statements made by paid vB employees there.
- Their incessant disclaimers of "official" knowledge or ability to promise anything (completely aside from the disclaimer of "official" reliance on previous employees statements).
- The relatively smaller level of communication levels between the staff their and the staff here.
- Paid does not equate to knowledge or truth spoken. Actually, given the paid status, I would argue that the folks at vB have a vested interest in spouting the company line. If you are not paid and still do the work, I would argue you have a greater motivation (or free from alternative motives motivation) to speak the truth. Not always the case, but I think there is something to this argument.
My opinion (happily mine). But, I do appreciate the comment and your thoughts.
