Greg,
What is the old journalist's addage???....when the legend becomes fact...print the legend...? Maybe that is what we have generally tended to do over the years. As you say perception is a keynote. However, truth is truth, and that should be goal for which we all must strive . I for one appreciate anything informative I glean from this site no matter who may be the source. As you state facts are what count and I would like to think that what I learn is real. As Alexander Pope said..."A LITTLE knowledge is a dangerous thing.."
