still, it goes to show you: there must be some truth in the trickery, or else one is left to ponder why such self-created hoaxes blend so easily with the legit sightings.

put another way: just because i tell a lie about, say, the Iraq War? that doesn’t make a soldier who served/is serving it a liar, too!

thanks again for shining some clarity on the subject, though. appreciated!
