Fianchetto said it best in Conspiracy Theories. You wanna get in with the conspiracy theorists, get them to give you all the info they have, even (especially) the stuff they don't know they have, then you gotta talk the talk, and earn their trust. I'd expect that Fianchetto, Thorn, /dev/grrl, Fastjack, Puck, or Netcat could probably get the truth out of him. Fianchetto and Thorn are the spies, getting info is what they do. /dev/grrl has proven herself to be more resourceful than people give her credit for, and she did the fashion guide with Plan 9 for Attitude. Fastjack is Fastjack. Nuff said. And Puck and Netcat are walking conspiracy theory magnets, so they could simply trade a couple stories for the info.
