Ever heard Mel Gibson pipe up? Tom Selleck? Jimmy Stewart was as quiet as a church mouse.

Think along those lines.

You're welcome.

To all. What's on your computer? Through web surfing, I pick some junk I never saw (legal stuff, mostly banner ads, but not anything I want on my computer).

(Note: this is best to do after restarting your machine)
To find these images click on;
Start/Find/Files or Folders/Advanced (tab)/Of Type ( click on drop down menu)/GIF Image (scroll down to this choice)Find Now (button on right).

All files of the Gif type will show. Most will be temporary internet files. They should have been cleared on restart but they don't always. To get a better look at these pics, click on;
View/Arrange Icons/by Size.
Most of the pictures will be of a larger size, the 1k stuff is just mostly cached bits and pieces. You can delete any of the pics you want. You may be amazed what you find.

believes he may have been abused

I would ordinarily dismiss his claim out of hand, but 30 years ago he wrote the Rock Opera "Tommy" which was acknowledged at the time to be semi autobiographical. The lead character (Townsend) was abused as a child. You can rent the movie and see for yourself. The abuse was much more explicit in the stage prodction than in the movie. Movies back then had to be very careful to avoid an "R" rating.

He may actually have been trying to sort out repressed memories from his earliest years. I think I will wait and see how this one plays out.

he didn't just enrich kiddie porn purveyors by purchasing their illegal product, he didn't just view these images, he actually downloaded them.

If you can see an image on your screen, then you have "downloaded" it. They are the same thing. Did he save them to disk? That is a different thing. We have Police doubletalk here, or Police Idiocy.

Well, Mell is bitching about people out to get him on O'Reilley right now.

He says they're coming after him because his upcoming film deals with Jesus.

Maybe when he does pipe up, it's for good reason.

Ironic, though. :]

Yes, the term "download" can have more than one meaning. I'm not so sure the police are "double-talking" and I'm not so sure they are "idiots" (can't say the same for Townshend).

When Townshend made his first public statements about all this, one of the things he said was, "I never downloaded anything." Can you tell me what he meant by this?

Thank you in advance.

Did this obsession have anything to do with his attempt at a remake of "Baby's Got Back"?

When FR goes down for a moment, it makes for interesting double posts.

Neither Townsend nor the Police seem to have a clear understanding of the term "Download". Townsend's ignorance is excusable, he is an amateur. The police investigating Internet Kiddie Porn are professionals. There is no excuse for them using nomenclature in a sloppy manner.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. I'm sure the Nobel committee is voting him the peace prize as we speak.
