Mitchell: McCanns move funds from Madeleine Fund to another account.

Of course interest exists beyond the forums, but interest in the minutiae of who handed what to whom on which date is of lesser interest.  Can you not see that there is 'interest' and then there is 'obsessive scrutiny'?

Of course. Some people are too fanatical, there's no doubt about that. I was in 2007, so I can understand it. But it's not healthy.

(That goes for both 'sides').

Should those who post a dozen times a day or more be called fanatical, or just interested, I wonder?

called fanatical by whom...and who cares

A dozen times a day is nothing (I get that it's a dig at me btw, thanks for that), you should take a look at twitter where some obsessives tweet dozens of time a day, and that's just twitter - what they're also posting on FB and forums god only knows.  But of course I'm a fanatic, as are you albeit only half as fanatical as I am (if post count is indicative of fanaticism).

Absolutely, alternate days of fanaticism in my case 

Don't take it personally - there are others.

The Others. (That's who I was thinking of too, jassi)

Not us relatively sane peeps

Que?

It does mean something. It means interest exists beyond the forums, blogs and other social media.

Or it did in October 2013 at least.

I was referring to journalistic standards.

Out of curiosity, what made you step back a bit (if ever you have done)?

I definitely did in 2008, because of the aggro on the forums and it becoming obvious you couldn't tell anymore who was genuine and who was playing games. I still followed the case on TV and in the papers though.

Ok, my mistake. But the Sunday Times article was barely changed by the correction that was printed. All that changed was the date of transfer of information to the authorities. If anything else was wrong in that article - and those printed a day or so later in the other papers - we're yet to be told. So as far as we know, except for the one correction, the journalists wrote a good article.

Did the C of A decision, and the odd press feed, both happen on the 2nd?
2nd + 15 = 17th
If completely hypothetically on 2nd there was any alteration of company constitution, or director list, it be appearing at CH around then.

I can think of a few reasons why they would want to open another account to 'ring fence' money.
Non of them for a good reason I fear.

They can up the interest rate by transferring all the bank account funds, instead of splitting it.

I also wonder if SY and PJ lock the case and stop the level of investigations, and the millions already spent on achieving nothing so far (as we are aware)- what do the McCanns expect their paltry few 100grand will do to 'find Maddie'.

Good question - any good answers?

I don't know the answer, maybe will will know a bit more in about a week's time?

Why, what's happening in about a week's time?
