This is the most polite expression of mistrust I’ve ever heard. :) Check back my posts history on iHub. It’s not just NWOG or even Russian companies. I got responses from many “untraditional” sources like, for example, a Syrian journalist, who wrote an article about refinery projects, Iranian branch of CreditLine, leading British IR firm, Canadian Energy expert, etc. Some of this information was never posted here. I don't do it to impress anybody. I do it because it's easy - everybody has phone and email in our time. My "secrets" are actually very simple (like: tell about yourself, be respectful but not "too sweet", etc.) Everybody can do this if he/she really wants to get answers rather than express anger (IMO).
BTW, by naming the source of information I usually try to get rid of any responsibility for the content. I just report it here. It's up to you believe it or not.
IMO.
