Honestly don't know what they'll say in this case because I haven't cared enough to call them on this. It's clearly not a small issue since they've now sent emails about deal making. I highly doubt they'd send that out based on gossip. But they tend to share fairly in depth information when asked on the phone/in person. You're not just some guy, you're one of their constituents. I've found them to be pretty open to discussing things when asked directly. I generally refrain from posting stuff from direct conversations, unless explicitly told it's ok or public knowledge.
