That is a good point. I find it hard to tell stories or history and leave the names out. It makes it difficult to convey and sometimes it lessens the validity but I make it a point to leave the names out, especially if they are active or have friends that are active. The guy that turned me onto dogs way back when has one dog now that is as old as dirt just like him. He stills talks to people and gives advice, and best of all, can flat tell a story. If I put his name out there the current day media could easily consider him the Godfather of the Game, because we all know every bust is a major ring and every participant is a kingpin.
I use 'I know a guy' much more than I would like to but I do not feel comfortable putting names out there. EWO
