I'd also suggest for the original post to be updated @Noooch with new information based on replies which then may be removed as well so we have something like a sticky single post thread gathering confirmed information based on sources. Just a suggestion. I fully agree but I can't edit my posts anymore. I suggest everyone stick to a simple list format.
