Might'n that be a good start in the right direction, considering all the time and energy spent wontonly wonderin' in the wrong direction all these years?
I specifically left addressing the WHO? and WHY? to others. In that regard, Jayna, IMHO, is on the right track for filling in the gaps in our knowledge.
If you have not (as I have) dedicated several years working with other folks also dedicated to finding the answers, I'd be very careful about tossing around terms like, "wontonly wonderin' in the wrong direction"... Especially so if you have not gone head-to-head with the Federal Bureau of Misdirection...
