E, DanielI actually find quite reassuring.....
I appreciate the fact I know where he stands on such issues, and I can judge his opinion exactly like I do everyone else's on this board. With a grain of salt.
How do I know what anyone else's stated opinions are affected by, and whether they are 'tainted' by an undisclosed relationship? Seems ridiculous in this instance to only judge Leon in this way...
There is no big moral obligation for Leon to either have completely unbiased opinions (impossible to do and still be involved in the hobby), or be bound from expressing them. He doesn't influence what cards I buy or who I deal with any more than anyone else on or off the board - and if people as a whole tend to agree with his stances its because they seem more reasoned - and not because of any relationship to mutton 
.
And per this article, it seems to me also that I read near the exact same opinion almost a year ago, and it too talked of 'ongoing investigations'. All I can say is it seems a long time amaking for a serious legal case based on fairly defined measurables.....
