Here's a tip.
Your mates are as useful as a resource as the lump of shit the neighbours dog just did on the nature strip across the road from my house.
Why? Because no one else but you know of his existence. Hence we have to take your word for it. And no one knows who you are, therefore, you too are are as useful as that dog turd.
Don't take it personally. This rule applies to everyone on the internet, including myself.
So, if you want to state facts, you need to source them and they need to be credible (ie - links to online resources).
Your mates, my mates, its all bullshit wank. No one can prove whether you're full of shit or not, therefore, you cannot be verified as having good sources.
Is this clear?
