Derek, Great research. It's this type of posting that adds value to the thread. I had no idea my little lark would result in such a positive educational experience. I floated out the Mandela issue to see if people would just shoot thieir mouth off from the hip or really contemplate. I wondered about there not being a meeting and my googling revealed the facts as ultimately presented. IT was an interesting exercise. I was just testing my own preconceived notion about the posters searching for new signs of new critical thinking skills and logic. Because trolls are generally intellectually superior to their targets, they will eventually become bored and move on to more challenging activities. Happily, I am not yet bored so I will continue to live on this thread.. For as long as you all seem open to my repartee and "Mental Floss". Rascala/k/aJoker @liketheytellthegorevoters:getoverit.com
