Trouble is that someone like Onja comes along several times a week, and after what, about twelve weeks, the regulars on the thread get a little tired of patiently analyzing everything for them. And a little defensive -- why should they have to explain themselves for being interested in this case?

OK, but if you're tired of it, why don't you just skip their posts?

I do... I was just explaining. Sometimes if I haven't been reading through the threads I'll ask a question that's been asked a million times and somebody will be short with me. I understand that and accept it.

Personally I think what is abhorrent is the way the news channels are using all these adorable photos of a poor girl that is probably no longer with us that you can't help but look up when they flash, to draw viewers. Even videos now. Jug and Beth and Dave have to put up with it because it keeps the story alive, but it doesn't reflect well on the motives of the news industry.
