I do not think it valid for us to presume that this person was so devastated 
they saw things that were not there.   One has no way to know what you said 
had any validity.  It is the rankest hearsay and not allowable as fact 
anywhere that I know.  And I think we would have to give great reverence to 
what Carolyn Hardy saw and reported.  In the case of Carolyn she would 
qualify as an expert anywhere that I know and her observations are valid to 
consider as fact. 

There is a great effort to ignore the valid scientific information that has 
been previously presented and everyone is aware.  There seems to be "spin" on 
everything.  This ain't politics folks this is our breed and its future.
