I agree.

The DE's, not even Lucius knew about the Horcruxes.
Snape is sneaky enough to have found out by accident, that's his talent.

If Snape knows of the Horcruxes it's because Dumbledore told him. Snape might know of only Marvolos ring.
Voldemort might have told them about the Horcruxes but not what they were. R.A.B. seems to be the only person (Death Eater) we'll assume who found out.
It seems to me like nobody had any real idea about the Horcruxes until the end of Goblet of Fire. I mean if Dumbledore knew for sure, why didn't he gather them up and destroy them before, he had a good 13 years to do it.
Why did Dumbledore wait so long before going to Slughorn?

I think Dumbledore knew that Slughorn would hide his involvement, and there's only one way to get to Slughorn, flattery. He wants to be Known to the rich and famous, he's a bit of a sad case really?

Snape is devious, and if he can find out where the Horcruxes are, he'll let the Order know, though he won't actually destroy them himself.

The person who I think is both sneaky, and willing to betray Voldemort is Wormtail. He's a "right hand man", excuse the pun, that you really don't want to have. Wormtail could do the dirty, despite being a coward, would you want to trust your life to him?

Has anyone thought of the possibility that R.A.B. was someone that Voldie met at Hogwarts and will be revield in the DH?

We get regular detentions about our lazy assumptions that RAB is Regulus Black, from our delightful moderator Dark Mark.
It could be someone totally different, why do you really think it is?
RAB predicted he would soon die, and we've all assumed that as Regulas Black died at around the right time, that's it's a definite possibility.

Why, don't you agree?

I don't believe that Voldemort trusted anyone. So therefor he would not tell anyone of the horcruxes. A possiblility is that when Slughorn told Tom Riddle about how to make a horcrux someone elsde paid attention as well.

In my opinion they didn't know.... If Volde told them and they turned on him they could kill him... etc...
