It is definitely in the zone of "hearsay" - whether discussing these matters with an authority is legal or not.
Phone calls are psychotic - they have no memory. Unlike a paper trail, it is hard to trace what is verbally said and hearsay evidence is inadmissible in courts and mediation.
Anyone who has ever played the telephone drill where a message is reported between people with a whisper knows that while unintentional always, what is said on one end comes out different on the other.
On this CPOW board, I would like to try to keep the data flowing as cleanly as possible with evidence brought to the table to back up anything stated as a fact.
Good luck to CPOW investors.
