I have a post to you down below in which I asked how you knew that M didn't want premies reading EPO or the forum.  That's what I was referring to.

I know you mentioned it before as have others, but when other people mentioned it, it was always on the level of rumor.  My question was whether this was more official, and how premies heard about it, if they did.

So, I guess from what you are saying, this is just something that premies tell each other, that they have heard from other premies. 

I do know that some years ago, it came through "official channels" (Booth Dyess and David Coyne), that Rawat didn't want premies talking about knowledge on the internet, but that wasn't anything specifically about EPO or the forum.  And of course that changed when Rawat decided to have websites, and when ELK got started.
