I may have missed it, but I don't recall any back channel information from Deep Throat type sources there. What I recall was a lot of documents readily available to lawyers but somewhat a pain in the ass for average people to track down and get copies of, especially for free.

Note that I am not saying there were none...just that I never noticed them. Anyone have an example or two?

Sure, look at http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/aug/20/groklaw-sh...

States explicitly "Groklaw relied in some cases on email tips from readers and other anonymous sources".

Following the early days of the SCO reporting it was obvious there was unreleased information being shared. There was even lots of discussion about whether Groklaw was some secret group of IBM agents and stuff like that due to the knowledge and insight being displayed at the time.
