65 pages in and you have yet to provide definite proof of your claim.

Par for the course.

Could it be that events which have occurred post 2007 have influenced his perception?

I don't know why he said 60 to 80% sure.  It's not exactly sure, is it.  But surely, everyone carries small children in the same way.
The only thing I can think of is that he was trying to be helpful, never realising that his statement would later be released.  But then a lot of them didn't.
Would he have been a bit more careful if he had known?

I would say there would be many events which occurred which would not have cccurred had the witnesses and arguidos known that further down the line their every word and actions would be disseminated infinitum.

Off topic I know but isn't the quietness a welcome relief ?

The usual Saturday night bundle did not take place. Word must have got around there are two new bouncers on the door.

Not really.  As long as no one is being nasty, I am truly impressed by the amount of research that has been accumulated on the is Forum.
Nothing pleases me more than genuine debate and efforts to understand.  And when I am not needed.

Anyone who genuinely wanted to help has had their efforts torn to shreds by one side or the other.  Who would ever do that again in the light of hindsight.

I don't know if Martin Smith changed his mind.  But that isn't in The Files.

Give them half a chance, please.  I spend most of my time hoping I won't have to delete or edit anything.  There is no reason to suppose that Brietta and Shining will be any different.

Or to suppose that someone will come up with positive proof that Martin Smith totally changed his already dubious mind.

The after hours slanging match is something which we have always tried to curtail as it only generates work for the mods and editors. Onward and upward...

Certain mods were at the root of it

What a dreadful thing to say. Surely our mods are all sweetness and light and complete beyond reproach

Positive proof?

He produced an e-fit.

It is the height of absurdity to suppose he would have done so of a man he thought was Gerry.

And I can quite understand, in context, why he might have (initially!) formed the view he did.

I don't actually disagree with you.  You are right about the E-Fit.  But short of a Court Case which we ain't going to get, then no one will ever know what went through his mind.
