For a guy who dropped a chunk of change to attend the Vet event and didn't get a call, Snaplock does not come across as someone trying to burn bridges by starting flame wars. But the guys who keep hurling put downs at him come across poorly, and I don't see why his post has provoked such a visceral reaction. Snaplock's unnamed source may very well be a TK PI who thought he overheard BK talking on his cell phone in the next stall over in the Men's Room. Until there is some proof in hiring stats or independent confirmation, it is yet just another random forum rumor. Even if it is ultimately false, if I were applying today I'd certainly want to know of the possibility.

I'm confident it is a fact that we've been hiring lots and lots of guys with reserve commitments the last few years. I'm not at all confident that what Snaplock said is true, and hope he is proven wrong from here on out. If he is wrong though, as of yet I don't think he'd owe anyone an apology. On the other hand, would any of the spear chuckers offer one up if he somehow is proven right?
