Come on. You know I did not insult you. I just expressed my hope. If anything, you insulted my intelligence by a turnabout on your own argument, thinking I wouldn't see it. I did, however and called it out. But you don't deny that you settle family disagreements this way, so that's on you. I'm not saying that you do.

Like any good Mafioso, I prefer to make enemies by choice, not by accident, so please accept my apology for any slur you construed from my remarks. I recall your name mostly favorably from remarks elsewhere, so just take this as debate coaching.

Planting information to find a leak is something that can be done, but the trick is to tag each plant with an extraneous item of information that is too interesting for the leaker to avoid relating. When you see that item showing up, you will then know that it was leaked and who leaked it.

You must have confirmation that the information was received. People's actions can result from all kinds of things, and it can never be clear that any piece of information was decisive in prompting any action (or inaction).
