Not a good analogy.  Editors will demand that sources be verified.  The
sources may be secret, but if the newspaper is worthy, the news that is
reported will be reliable.  The opinion of one dealer who may or may not
have some anecdotal evidense of QC problems does not constutute a reliable
source and would never pass the srutiny of a competent news editor.  IMHO.
