I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Laertes, I agree with you that of course the telegram is from the producers, not the actual Mole. And ABC has made a point of saying "Look for secret clues to the identity of the Mole!" so that means one of two things regarding the telegram:

1. The clue is legitimate. The producers just didn't think viewers were smart enough to catch it. Oops.

2. The clue is false. This means ABC is planting clues that are deliberate lies, in which case the viewers can never believe any clues that are found -- so what's the point of leaving them and reminding viewers to look for them every episode?

But, yeah it could be a big fat red herring- or maybe thats just what they want you to think!- insert maniacal laugh-.

ha ha , I already admitted that clue was irrelevant. Bad example

I am talking about the way the telegram was written.

red herring
Katie's initials were at the end of the message. Plus, Al's name was in astrick.. The telegram will lead you to execution. he he

I think that's being too nitpicky. He can't disclose his identity by saying "The mole is me" (first-person narrative), because nobody would know who "me" is. "Hello my fellow players, you are all going to lose. Love, La Talpa. By the way, the mole is me." -confused-

It's like a telemarketer calling you on the phone and saying "Hello, it's me." That never happens, it's always "Hello, this is Julie from Time-Life Books."

The clue says "The mole is Bill" (third-person narrative). It's brief and to the point. I think this was a legitimate clue.
