The next time any of you find yourselves asking for documentation or proof on any thread please say "I'm being really stupid here." three times and count to ten before typing.

I'm not entirely sure what you are getting at here.

If you put forward a theory that runs counter to that generally accepted, it is reasonable to ask for evidence to support your theory. Looking through the thread, it seems to me that those asking for documentary evidence are making a reasonable request. I agree that sometimes that request was not made in as courteous a manner as it might have been, but nevertheless the requests mostly struck me as reasonable.

Equally, of course if you are putting forward the generally accepted theory, you still need to provide evidence to support that theory. It is then up to each individual to decide who has provided the stronger evidence.
