I depend on my far-flung network of operatives to alert me when a likely thread makes its appearance. If something somes to my attention too late, I generally let it go. As here.

The way I categorize this stuff, this is a "blam" thread, not a crevo thread. "Blam" threads are for arguing whether Atlantis had anything to do with Lemuria and were the Celts the Lost Tribes of Israel.
