You have *zero* knowledge about *this* incident.  And *that* was my
point.  It's bad enough that the damn news media speculates about
everything under the sun these days.  Why do *we* have to?  What the
hell is the point of speculating about all the various possibilities
tied to an incident of which every one of us is ignorant?  You may have
extensive knowledge of pedophilia, but do you know *anything* other than
what you've read in the news (and surely you don't buy that hook, line
and sinker, do you?)

Obviously nothing is going to stop people from doing that speculating on
the list, so I won't say any more about it, but I beg of the members of
this list.  If you have any human decency at all, *stop* all the rampant
speculation about events of which you know nothing.  All you do is waste
bandwidth.  The facts will come out soon enough, and then you can eat up
the bandwidth discussing the facts, rather than speculation.
