Thanks... I’ll take a closer look at it... as it’s necessary to have some good references to this kind of stuff if we’re going to make that assertion to other people. They have to know it’s not simply gossip and rumor-mongering ...
I see your point and I reckon it is simple gossip when I pass on to FReepers what family members on the coast are telling me. The dang press is being locked out and it’s hard to get more than anecdotal evidence from folks in the zone. Besides that I’m hopin’ mad, depressed, worried, and nervous as a whore in church. These are all things I don’t normally feel (I have no children). I might post off the cuff in these situations without fully thinking it through.
