Of course. But why would an independent blogger accept advance information with an embargo?

I could understand why if it were just a matter of hours, maybe up to 30 or so. Time to analyse, to compare what's coming with past T&C and other FFPs, and to prepare a detailed and thoughtful post for the moment the news is released. I can't understand, on the other hand, why someone would allow himself to be manoeuvred into a position where -- for several days -- he cannot speculate or report on speculation taking place elsewhere.
