Somehow, I don't have much confidence in either the OP or the link. Too many inconsistencies.

OP, bring your story back again when you have more credible information that someone can read.

I know, take it to the C7 forum.

Lol, people are butt hurt that somebody is trying to share information from research on the internet.

He never said you had to beleive it, or try the link, or bother him about it.

All the OP did was share something he found on the internet. I for one say Thank You. I think the OP could care less whether or not you have confidence in him.
