Thanks Bushpilot. The organization of the body of knowledge pertaining to the framer's intent is getting better and better. Most of us know the disruptors. They are probably not worth engaging because they will come back again, attempting to bury the truth in details, often responding like tag-teams, to each other. We have a tendency to talk about new discoveries, leaving newcomers searching for some truth given the lamentable irrelevancy of state-run media, wondering about some things we know.
