The only thing I find mornic about this discussion is all the time and energy being spent on it when we could be helping to find missing people. My only reason for even posting regarding this discussion is that I would hate for anyone to be deterred from doing all the good work websleuths does because a fustrated members angry post. It goes with out questioning that no one should ever contact a family of a missing or murdered person unless invited to do so. There is no excuse for anyone who has done this and done it repeatidly. However, I do not think that issue is a reflection of websleuths or the majority of the members here. I do not understand the statement that only people who find a tip should be the one to call it it. How does one know that someone else has allready called in that tip and why does that even matter? There is a huge difference between calling in a tip and calling 100 times. The latter is harrrasment and is of couse unexceptable but no one should be afriad to call in a tip because he or she might not have been the one and only person to find this piece of information. The focus of our efforts should always be on the missing and when, how we "speak" to one another and what we request interfeers with those efforts then I think we need to reexamine what we have said. Intrestedwomen, please do not apologize for mixing up two cases. All human beings make mystakes and people need to feel free to make mystakes here so they can be comfortable sharing ideas and theories and challenging the likley to discover the solutions. Once we alow the flow of ideas and thoughts to be stifled by ridicule, anger and judgmentalism we are in effect stifeling the ability of websleuths to be the wonderful tool it is in helping the missing.
