I totally agree.  I gave up reading the Junior-Adams posts a while ago because
of
it.  I was quite shocked by how quickly people seemed to be forming their own
theories without a shred of evidence, and before they'd heard both sides of the

I hope the moderators will pay heed to what you say.

Cheers,
