Yea, it's been a good day for DRaysBay today

We got that tip last night and I wrote up the story while another manager on the site pounded some local contacts.

No. 1 rule of scoops - YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT SCOOPS.

Somewhat meant to be humorous, somewhat not.

The bigger your profile gets, the more likely someone wondering how the scoop happened might stumble across something here. I know I follow lots of sites where the people who post don't realize that someone curious might be following along.

In this case, if the IDers are discovered by an outsider, maybe they don't eat there anymore, or get the word out to those they know in the area. Why take a chance?

The walls have ears, and the hills have eyes.
