G'day again, Lyle et al,

I probably should say that, on a more careful reading, while I think the shenanigans detailed in the Winton Station / Christina M part of the article are pretty likely accurate ... I think the article presents them as attested fact, while they are only (well-reasoned) conjecture.

What do the Italians say ... ? "Non provata ma ben conata" (OK, I can't speak a word of Italian, but it sounds something like that and means: "It is well-known - if not proved".

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
