Frank:

I will give the people that post on this board, and other boards a chance to
identify, other places that they post. These post tend to inflame, but it can be
indicative of the persons character. Better not to say it and have it repeated if
it was not factual, or intended to be said in the first place. One of my gifts as
being an engineer for these many of years, has been the ability to remember alot of
details, from 20 to 25 years back. But when you are interpreting me as speculating
these stories, they are to be qualified as news articles published by a news paper,
and reviewed by the editor prior to publishing. You know as well as I do, that
investigative reporters seldom identify their sources, and like you state,
frequently get the facts messed up. Thats one reason that I don't generaly like to
always give the specifics to where I got the information, because there are often
people that read the post were actually witnesses to the event. I will go back and
find the article and be more specific. We know the cornor had to determine the
child cause of death, and since it was determined to be poisioned the epa was
ebviuously called in, to file a report. This goes back to dosage, or dosage over
time. Now I understand why you can't divulge the informtion, that you know about;
but if you have found a way to "find the facts" without putting a gun to the persons
head, or drugged, or tortured the individual; you need to let us know how it is
accomplished. I find that most individuals want to tell the truth, and be a part of
the solution, but are most times fearful of the reprecussions. You can clear alot
of rocks up until you have been bitten a couple of times, before you realize
creatures that can harm seek refuge there, and it goes better, but slower if you
prod with a stick before offering a limb. I prefer hickory, whats your preference.
