I understand your frustration. You've taken the time and care to think through the evidence, and you've reached a conclusion you think is solid, and should be obvious enough to anyone who is unbiased....right?
The best part of WS group sleuthing, IMO, is the sharing of ideas and perspectives I know I could never come up with on my own, no matter the (blush) no doubt thousands of hours I've spent on this case over the years. I've described my thinking process as looking into a kaleidoscope and twirling the end until all the pieces fall into a different pattern, then twirling again after someone here convinces me to consider a perhaps, or a new little tidbit of info falls into our laps.
But yah, sometimes the conclusions reached are final enough that there isn't any twirling or budging, just a drawing of parallel lines in the sand that are never going to intersect. That CAN be frustrating. Thank goodness just about then, every time , a new something or a revised something gets tossed out, and the lines in the sand are left behind.
We all bring our own everything to the table, right down to glorious photos of cotton fields and chicken fried steak and Big Bob holding burgers in a field.
The frustration is not from everyone brainstorming and having opinions. I've been on WS since 2004 and on CourtTv boards before that so I really do value that aspect of the interaction here. I truly appreciate every member and their contributions.
My frustration is about other things and doesn't really matter.
What matters is there WILL be fish for supper!
