OK, I took a breath. Sorry if I got confused, but I'm amazed by some of these reactions.

If you really think that I and those I know are just engaging in gossip, I can't believe you're reading what I'm saying. I'm NOT going to five names of people who didn't tell me to, that much is clear. I'm NOT even telling you hear the overall gist of what they are telling me. Many details that I have heard would indeed be inappropriate to share. I AM saying, once and for all, that the musician community closest to Bob in time an geography has formed a consensus based on all that it knows. These would be the last people on earth to believe unfounded gossip.

And that's it from me. Believe what you will. I really have only wanted to help, and managed to get stressed about it, which helps no one. But, as I said, it's an emotional issue.

Apologies to all. If I get more hard facts that clarify things I will sign in again. But apart from that, I bow out.
