Why do some feel it necessary to use someone's good intentions and good gesture as an opprtunity for target practice? It, I feel, will have a chilling effect on others who might wish to share some information.

I am sure most of us know the difference between 'a lead' as the OP gives us and a formal reference.

I am glad most people would not choose to 'just stand by' in this world of ours. Life, like love, is a bit of a risk.
