Re: Cheating in FRC

I'm just a bit surprised that when I skimmed through this thread, I didn't see anyone point out that everything read in the Internet should be taken with a large grain of salt.

The Reddit OP could very well be a troll doing a little fishing. For me, until the story is corroborated by credible, independent evidence; it's interesting, but not worth more than a 6-word reply that says, "If this is real, contact FIRST."

Some of the follow-on and side-discussions here have been valuable, but when I imagine the OP, I'm as likely to imagine someone laughing, as I am to imagine someone distressed.

Don't jump into the boat folks... Know what I mean? Use due diligence before putting your faith into internet heroes, martyrs, rabble-rousers, or victims.

If that due diligence shows that a real need for action exists, *then* grab the pitchforks, and light the torches.
