Well, golly gee, Your Majesty has finally seen fit to address little me, instead of posting to others what appeared to be responses to some of my posts, since it appears you just couldn't dirty your hands by posting to me!

I've noticed YOUR attitude, too. Read my little preamble to my post in the backroom. Every word of it is true. I have followed this case on freerepublic from Day One, including watching for months the exchanges that have occurred here. I wonder why you take so much umbrage, and continue to hold such resentment, when your name wasn't even included in that list. You must enjoy going around with a chip on your shoulder.

I don't care if you like me or not. I said I was not going to make any friends with that post. I don't think I did. But since then, the people I praised in that post have been every bit as gracious as I expected them to be, and you know what? Even some of the people I slammed have been gracious. Obviously you would like the bickering on this thread to stay in full swing; I guess it provides the best entertainment, to your way of thinking. But I thought the posters were here, first, b/c they were deeply interested in this mystery. The bickering and insults are just a side issue.

At least you finally decided to come out and "fight your own battle"--instead of watching others duke it out and apparently sitting by, oh-so-above-it-all.

And if you think you're making any big revelation by citing that post and thread, the fact is I put directions to it on the then-current Smart thread, right when I first posted it. Later, some others discovered it on their own and directed people to it again. It's old news.
