Pierre, this doesn't make sense. What meaning are you trying to convey?"It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins twisting facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (as Sherlock Holmes). -
Pierre, I don't know of any other poster who indulges in this kind of behaviour. We have had people promulgate theories about such luminaries as Vincent Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Dr Barnardo and others. All have seen their theories comprehensively demolished but at least they had done us all the courtesy of publishing on these boards who their suspect was and why they believed him to be guilty. They weren't credible, but at least they were up front with their views.I have found a new small piece of evidence today!
Even if you later identify a credible suspect and provide some kind of evidence to support whatever view it is that you hold, you will have lost all credibility long before then if you persist with this childish behaviour.

Going Nowhere.
It's amazing how many "passengers" have jumped on this buggy ride to Nowhere!

Neither rube nor passenger, merely an amused observer, perhaps like yourself. The boards are so bereft of any serious discussions lately, tracking the longevity of this worthless thread is about all there is to do!Originally posted by DJA View PostAnd the latest rube is.....amused
