Maybe I should take my own advise and let everyone banter with each about what they heard or read about the case ...

Brigette, I want to be sure I understand your position. Do you want this thread to be just for posting info, with no speculation or discussion? If you do, that's fine, you have done a wonderful job of putting together all this info! If that is what you want, maybe the thread should be labeled such?

Again, thanks for making it possible for me to have a life AND keep up with this case!

banter - with the people who want it in B&W from another source, because they don't believe the poster. Nothing is in B&W. Much of the info we are getting is hearsay, period. Please also need to read my words correctly "may have", "I understand it as", etc...

Discussion about the Natalee case is what this thread is suppose to be about. Not Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, 2 other missing now found dead boys (sigh), etc... I am talking about the posts and replies that go on and on about these other stories on this thread.

There are other threads already going about these other stories that people can use to comment on about.

I also do not want this to turn into a Natalee, Natalee Family, Chaperone bashing thread like the past threads that I did "not" start turned into. People around (family/friends) Natalee are not suspects in the case, there is no reason to bash them.
