Oh, I was unaware that there was that theory floating around. But no, my stumbling upon FFL at that exact moment when I did was the most amazing timing. And completely by fluke, as a result of a number of coincidences that added up to me popping out from behind the curtain at just the moment I did.

But you are a master at keeping things straight and true and it is all documented and organized. This, to me, is the sign of someone wedded to finding and understanding the truth. I think you are a truth seeker in fact! And since I hadn't kept track of my own presence here with regard to my exact timing and posting you made me aware of that as well.
