Where is J.M. when you need him, this whole topic has become so obfuscated
that we are defeating the purpose of helping one another and just confusing
matters worse. So and so says this and so and so says that. I have heard

says the opposite - as yet I still have no idea if the truth is out there.
Oh where oh where is my Scully to help me get to the bottom of this?
