Yes... It's often a matter of asking almost all the contacts they have,
instead of picking the ones who could conceivably know something about
the situation. Something high-tech's been stolen from a corp facility, so
they ask a gang boss, that sort of thing...

This is almost as stupid as the "I phone Ares" ploy that used to be used
quite a lot before I managed to stamp that out... For those who wonder
what it is, it's the thing where Ares (or whoever) seems to be involved in
the current run, so the players phone up the corp and ask to speak to
someone in charge...
