I'm not suggesting lookout isn't honest. I'm just suggesting that some of you are being a bit unreasonable in expecting someone with no experience of him to just 'take his word for it'.

Sure lo can express his opinion, and if that's what it is, then there's no need to say any more, but just like everyone else, if he's asked for some kind of cite and refuses, then his statement can only be considered an opinion.

Does that make sense?

Classic, I'm really surprised at your responses. I would have thought you of all people would be a bit more reasonable.
