I’m sorry you doubt my motives. I enjoy an intellectual challenge, and the combination of law, international travel, grandparental intrigue and the intricacies of how birth announcements are gathered is fascinating to me. I HAVE learned a lot from this thread and from independent research.
If, by “learn” you mean come to agree with you, then no, I guess I have not learned anything here. But if you mean it in the traditional sense, then yes, I have gained knowledge I did not have before.
I admit I do not come to the same conclusion as you, but, unlike some, I do not choose to insult or demonize those that disagree.
I recognize that in you, unfortunately your message is designed to kill opinion, sort of kill them with kindness, I guess.
Not trying to be insulting here, just stating my opinion, with a smile.<(•¿•)>
