Wandering Off Topic

Two people cannot log on at the same time. Sounds like your computer might be compromised. Suggest you do a full integrity check on it to find and expunge any viruses.

Thanks, John.

For attention: John
I believe the Forum’s website has been compromised. While typing a comment in the past 30 minutes, my keyboard kept erasing my words, replacing it with other symbols. To me, this suggests that someone else is logged-in on my profile and altering my messages.

Apart from the ones mentioned earlier, I have all sorts of other problems some days.

The one I hate the most is when the screen starts rolling around like a drunkard might experience. 

That's awful, but so is the vanishing post syndrome.  It is no joke to have spent a couple of hours gathering info to find that suddenly the post has vanished and that you are at an obscure page on the forum that you have never seen before.

There are other things as well, like not accepting my password when I am trying to log in …. and so on

Cant see mine ever getting sorted now, but I hope that yours does Anthro.

Despite her on-going agony Kerry is still generous enough to be kind and supportive about the McCanns, if only everyone could be as supportive and understanding as her.  Clearly she does not consider the McCanns to be involved in any sort of cover up and is in a better position than most to detect phoniness or behaviour that doesn’t ring true, imo.

"My child is buried somewhere and without finances we’ll never find him. That’s unfair and heartbreaking.”

I have to agree.

If the focus is now on Bruckner as we are lead to believe why are OG still being funded ?

I read this the other day and wondered when it would appear as yet another complaint against Madeleine and the McCanns.

From memory ~ if it is suspected that Ben's remains have been moved more than once and there are possible areas to which the previous searches did not have access I agree something needs to be done and they should be searched.

Perhaps the energy directed against the McCanns in the form of petitions against everything McCann to the Government website and campaigns to Parliament yet again against everything McCann could be redirected positively for Ben.

In the interim one solution to finance such a search might be that those who have experience of setting up funding schemes such as the ones they have organised on behalf of Goncalo Amaral could do it again as the last one raised a lot of money in the shortest space of time.
Perhaps anything left in that fund could be transferred back from Portugal to set the ball rolling.

I would be happy to contribute and I am sure many others would welcome the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is.

People are funny fish aren't they?  The same people who complain about £12 million of tax payers money spent on Madeleine would presumably be ecstatic if £12 m were promised to find Ben.  Or would they start grumbling about that as well, and find some other missing child case to compare with to contrast the unfairness of it all?

Then off you go Brietta. It’s not that hard to set up a crowdfunding page and what a lovely gesture it would be to be helping Kerry at last to find closure. I’m sure you’d be able to drum up donations among that silent majority who support Madeleine’s parents and as a bonus would prove once and for all that you are not all mouth and no trousers and that your concern for missing children really does extend beyond protecting their parent’s reputation.

I'll stump up for such a worthy cause (£48). Is there a link?

On CMOMM...which gunit sees as a useful source of info...the consensus seems to be that Ben died in an accident on his uncles motorbike and the family covered it up.

Very little compassion shown on that forum for Kerry.
More be careful what you wish for in her desire to have the investigation into Ben's disappearance furthered.

How was a toddler able to drive his uncle's motorbike?
....and what's a CMOM?

You need to ask the fellow sceptics on CMOMM.....I can assure you the general belief is that it's an accidental death covered up by the family. They were suspects and have never been cleared or proven innocent..just like the McCanns

Under normal circumstances I would have laughed at that idea knowing a bit about the amount of self sacrifice the family have had in conducting searches for Ben.
I think it is safe to say his disappearance has taken over all of their lives.

I know that Kerry was publicly given a dressing down for laughing with her daughter but I really did not think anyone was idiotic enough to go along with that theory.
If memory serves me well the local police looked into it at the time and came to the conclusion that was not the reason for Ben's disappearance.

Absolutely incredible!

So no chance of a crowdfunding thingy from CMOMM then.

I really do not know what goes on in that forum for the simple reason it sickens me to my stomach and I seldom go there.

Therefore I hadn't the a clue this was going on.

Whatever happened to good old British notions of fair play and benefit of the doubt?  Did they ever exists?
