The difference is oilphant provides no information, no matter how close he is. He's just playing with the minds of others and it works for him. He's proven he knows how to speak in whole sentences but CHOOSES not to. His "info" is never defined or limited, but it allows unlimited interpetation and is therefore useless. When the board has sufficiently masticated one riddle or snippet of info he just goes on to something else. For instance, last week, "green tomorrow...". No green arrived. After that..."ides of October" with a rising price until then...or words to that effect. Huh?
He's like a newspaper...make an error in reporting one day and just move on to the next report.
