Of course, there's a difference between suggestive evidence and clear evidence. Clear evidence would require residue testing, I believe, which I do hope that UN team will be doing. Until then, reserving judgment is the only smart choice. Anything else could lead people to think one is hysterical.

As for my assumptions, allow me to use "clear evidence" to explain them.

It is emotional MFrohike Aug 2013 #25

I just can't get into this with you. TLDR, as the kids say. You're interested in fighting, I'm MADem Aug 2013 #26

You made my point MFrohike Aug 2013 #27
