Wow....I hadn't looked at this thread until now....:joyman: not good. May I suggest everyone take a few deep breaths and try to relax a bit. JB, if you are still here, I think you have much to offer in terms of research, but should keep it to that; and let others decide for themselves how it fits, if it fits, and what to do with it [conclusions]. I think Charles is correct that you often go off the rails if someone disagrees or ignores [in your mind] your conclusions. I don't think any one has solved the case. Many have made important additions to it, and we all benefit from good research of others (and are led down blind-alleys by poor or misleading research by others). No one of us, dead or alive, is going to get a gold-star for solving the case as in a S. Holmes novel. It is simply too complex a case.
Sorry to see two highly esteemed member-founders seemingly in disagreement. Peace to all. I withdraw.
