Hallo Donna, and thanks for the welcome
GLP is another forum where 99% of the posts should be taken with a huge pinch of salt, together with a sprig of parsley :)
They can be quite mischievous over there: someone will post an entirely believable scenario and others will pile in with supporting information, but the entire premise is based on fiction.
Can be quite fun actually once you realize this, some of the posters have a great sense of humour. And once in a while (the other 1% of the posts)something factual turns up as well.
As regards this particular incident, some outrageous claims were made but nothing ever became of them in public, so considering the source we can draw our own conclusions.
Do you have a link to the GLP site. A guilty pleasure of mine is that I enjoy reading some of the nutty stuff. One just never knows when one might find an acorn, or a truffle.
I'm glad to see that you quit lurking and jumped in with a very interesting post. Please keep us informed. All input is welcome. We are counting on you and British Chick to let us know what is happening "across the pond". BC has also had some good info.
Again, welcome and thanks for joining us.
