BC, good post.  I think what rubs people the wrong way isn't the posting of information, but rather the vague allusions to certain information and, when inevitably pressed for details, the referral to the pay sites.  I don't care enough to be annoyed by it, but I have noticed it, and understand why it would bother some.

At this point, it is pretty much an open secret that those "vague allusions to certain information" almost always originate with Andy at Rivals, especially when people like Bobbk and Trumpcard, who have disclosed their memberships, post.  The choices are for them to sit on their hands while other people post uninformed speculation, to violate the explicit request of Andy at Rivals and potentially violate the terms of service (and also potentially cost Andy some subscribers), or to try and negotiate a middle ground that alludes to the certain details without giving the whole story.  Personally, I think they've done a good job at finding a middle ground, correcting misinformation but otherwise staying relatively quiet and being scant on details.  People who are annoyed at the lack of details can chose to subscribe if they want the whole scoop, or if they are bothered by the whole enterprise, avoid reading the recruiting threads until NSD, when all is revealed.
