    Hi George,

      It is the characteristics of the report and its background  that 
I also add a  little weight  to.  As  for doubts,  well everyone  is a 
skeptic at heart.  Or if not I guess a person easily taken. Whichever.
I prefer that people be at least familiar with all  the background  of 
this subject before easily dismissing anything that comes  along.  Not 
that some BS can't be spotted right away. We are  are worst  enemy. If 
we  could  hang all  the BS  artists we  actually might  get somewhere 
:)....
Happy Trails,
Fred.
