Seems to me he has gone through other avenues of research and has not only searched for answers here on the internet. He has stated that he has read books has conducted the occasinal interview (including online interviews) and so on. I have done papers before So I know that instructors ask that you use several different methods of research and that includes internet research and listing the sources in which you got your info from. Looks to me that he was doing all of it and not just limiting himself to interviews and books, but also including people that he found to be posting things here on the net about things that they do know about and wanted more information regarding what was posted here, clarification of what people have written as not to contradict information which he may already have.
It was in my understanding that he was covering ALL his bases in order to write a clear and informative paper from all aspects and points of view including that which people write on this forum and the information in which they provide here, thats what college and University is about diggin and making sure you understand in your completeness what you are writing about and making sure you are using the correct information. What better way to ask for clarification than to ask the people that participate in such tradtions and talk about it publicly on forums such as powwows.com in order to get varying points of view and im sure he can decifer that which he does and does not need.
