David,
Yes, exactly. And based on my idea that the simplest ideas and interpretations are usually correct. And that, once again, anyone who argues endlessly that a more sinister, complicated interpretation that doesn't fit with any other writings, unless they are only decipherable by certain someones, and others must be told what they REALLY mean, are far less likely to be correct.
That said, you might still be entirely right, but I believe the chances of that are about 0.0000000001%. Again, its that simple.
Tom,
I will add you to this last part, but its aimed at David, too - you have absolutely no clue (and niether do I) why Leslie, or whoever, wrote and said exactly what they said. If you want to continue to argue that the train stopped in Philly, so Barker had to have routed MCC, go ahead. I await more info from you saying that, rather than you "taking liberties" in telling me what simple english means.
You and David have both said we need to take the totality of all the documents to make a decsion. I have and simply come to a different conclusion than you. If I am later proven wrong, I will cheerfully admit it. Like you, I am fascinated, for God knows what reason, but await some new REAL information, rather than the tired old arguments about what you and David think the writings really mean, when to me, they mean pretty much what they seem to mean.
