I'm getting reports that Madeleine is alive.

In which case I look forward to the next thread to feature a stock photo model purported to be Madeleine by some FB weirdo for us all to discuss at length, this one seems to have run its course somewhat.

Not only a stock photo but a person that two of these photo-sharing companies shared for "free".  They allowed people to download and use images of this girl for free, and that is why IMO out of the thousands of images available she appears in so many articles.
I would have liked to know who she really was so we could be absolutely sure she wasn't Madeleine grown up.

I suppose anyone who's interested can use the search facility and work it out.

Do not advocate this.  Or I might get a bit cross.

Only Davel's off-topic comment when I couldn't understand the meaning behind it.  I tried to PM him first for an explanation but he had me blocked.

Since you have never answered any PM that I have ever sent you then I don't understand what yo are talking of.

[Eleanor]

The "New" used to work perfectly.

Then how come you don't appear to know wha tis going on?

Why? Surely all bullies should be called out?

What?  What did anyone say?  Have I lost plot again?  Oh dearie me.

As you said, "Then how come you don't appear to know what is going on?"  We all study different things.

What a strange allegation.  Have I never replied to any of your PMs?   I'd be most surprised if that is the case.  But it could be.   If John or Admin wrote to me I'd just leave it at that.   Maybe that's how I treat you too, one above me.  If I was to reply I'd be taking a stance of being your equal.  Maybe you wouldn't like that either.

No.  I occasionally lose the plot because some Members try to blind me with their idea of semantics.  They just aren't very good at it.

All members are equal I think and it certainly could never be suggested that that John or Admin ever throw their weight around trusting that for most of the time we are capable of behaving in a responsible manner.

I'm bored with the nit picking and personal spats which have become a feature.  It's like being back at school.

Now there's a thought.  Do you honestly think that I am one above you?  Thank you so much if you do.  No one else does.  In fact you could start a riot if you are not frightfully careful.

Love you too.  xx. Senior Moderator Eleanor.

Speak for yourself.  I'm going for me being a bit speshul.

I see no support given to Brueckner...the vile human being deserves to be punished for his crimes....but a miscarriage of justice serves no one.

Amaral and Wolter, for me, are two peas in a pod. Both claimed they had evidence which proved guilt but when it came to it the evidence they claimed to have was insufficient to bring charges.

I find it interesting that while supporters have researched every cough and spit of Amaral’s life they seem strangely disinterested in Wolter’s. For instance how many cases has he successfully prosecuted? Have any of the cases he worked on which lead to a conviction been overturned on appeal? Has he a particular fondness for being in the limelight? All very relevant questions when considering Wolter’s professionalism and his ability to solve the case.

An interesting suggestion.  But is not Wolters a Prosecutor and not simply a Detective?
