Hahaha! So sorry it doesn't meet your exacting standards of what proper journalism should be my friend!
Not sure why you don't believe that I didn't read (and still haven't read) the thread you're talking about? I have used threads on this forum and many others as sources for my articles in the past and no doubt will in the future so I would have absolutely no problem with admitting it.
I've written many, many articles about the matches between Dani Stern and BERRI SWEET over the last year so I'm probably more aware than most about how they are both faring online - I wouldn't need to read a thread to tell me about it anyway.
As well as penning everyday poker news stories, another part of my job at HSDB is to use our USP (our unique data, graphs, statistics etc) and to create informative and (occasionally) entertaining articles from them and hopefully encourage some of our readers to take advantage of the site's functionality for themselves.
