Wait, no, that's not quite right. I stand corrected...I just checked the
RTL archive on Deja.com... Looks like I heard the set number first, and
-then- got more information from S@H, given the set number. I don't know if
I'd've gotten the set number from S@H all by itself, but I suppose that
becomes irrelevant once S@H gives out the full information to a perfect
stranger on the phone.
The number 1886 for the SW bucket came from a sheet which was dispatched to
retailers around the country by LSI in Enfield, giving a list of buckets
being discontinued. I asked my source if this was confidential information,
and he/she preferred to remain anonymous but added that it wasn't really
confidential, to the best of his/her knowledge. This same source has also
-not- repeated private information which he/she did believe was
confidential, so I have reason to believe it was correct.
