Sure, there's nothing wrong with a little intel, but there's a difference between trusted info among close friends, and letting online posts and chatter get you worked up and make you feel like youre missing out.
I'm content with whatever my season brings with this approach. Ive done it to an extent in years past (i dont use face book, etc...) but I'm going social-recluse mode even more this season... and looking forward to it!

make your own reports.. don't chase them
