My problem is simply that the thread is going nowhere. I didn't say there was any contradiction with my information, just that people chose to essentially ignore it (and I'm not even complaining about that). If you read the "Where is Spancil Hill" thread that Alice originally quotes from, you'll find it's better by far that what we've got so far in the new "study" thread.

What's the point in having a "study" thread which is just another thread and which doesn't even give you all the useful information which is already presented in other threads?

There needs to be some summary and synthesis, as I have already said twice. If there is already quite a lot of information in disparate threads (as with this one), then a study thread really has to start that way. Also, I can't actually think of a reason for starting a "Study" thread unless there is already quite a lot of information there.

As I said, I'm probably being pessimistic ...
