The person who reported it to spymaster (and btw, I did too.. it's just that nothing got done with my report) pointed TORn to the same amazon web pages I pointed people too.
Neither of us (nor TORn, from what I can read in the article) have any more info that what's on those pages. I just offered what else I knew, what I thought, and let people make their own judgement about whether the information was correct or not.
The home page article acts as if it's all official and confirmed. Maybe it is. There has been no press release and Doug is not discussing it. So, to my mind, I don't know it is and I won't tell people it is.
I guess it just points out how I operate. I like to think I'm being very upfront with the info I present. I want the reader to know what I know for sure, what I suspect, what I think, and clearly indicate in which of those area things fall.
But I think it comes off as wishy washy to people and people are always more impressed with the definite, confident approach than the qualified, reserved approach.
I want the soundtrack early but I am not clicking 'buy' on any of these offerings until I get more solid information about them. There has been, as I said in my thread, at least one suspicious looking listing that I think was trying to get people who want the score to click on 'buy' before they could find out it wasn't the Shore's score to Jackson's Hobbit. I don't actually think these amazon listings (the article pointed to) are fraudulent but why would I take the chance? There is no advantage to buying this early with this little information.
