re: Actual people that post here in the know

Imagine you are Woodward and you have a great conversation with your number one target and he’s told you he thinks he’s coming but he wants to think about it some more for another week.
Do you think he gets up from his desk, finds another AD employee in the hall or goes to their office and gives them details from that call?
And that employee gets on here and starts dropping hints about what Woodward told him?
When a good AD has the real power to make a hire, the only leaks come from agents of candidates looking for leverage.
Everything else is just from the echo chamber of things speculated that are based on public knowledge.
