Hi beandog, welcome back. Sorry to hear about your loss of Bean.

You're right about the article being crap and reporters not capable of reporting on an untied shoelace these days.

Well, let's be fair here, though.

The reporter and I spent a great deal of time talking about "internet life" versus "real life."

The reporter feels strongly, and I think legitimately, that real life encounters are more important, more relevant, than cyberspace encounters.

The reporter had not had time--my God, we are talking DAYS--to read the massive library of stuff accumulated on the internet about this fraud, and admitted that.

He was going by personal interviews, not by clicking on the screen of a computer.

I was okay with that, because again, there are DAYS--and I mean 24-hour days--of reading material on this fraud, and surely no newspaper editor is going to give a reporter a whole week, and overtime too, to read the internet.

And I was okay with that; the guy does not have all the time in the world, after all.

Thanks, I've turned into a slobbering fool lately. Bean was a great dog.

I'm just happy to see you guys are still here. I thought you'd all be in the slammer by now. LOL. Whatever happened with that threat anyway?
