Right, well, I did too, and that's why I said that what was said was
not, in and of itself, a bannable offense.  If Susan Mason is not Lir,
then only some gentle correction is necessary.

You can count me very much in the camp of people who thinks that Susan
Mason probably is Lir, and who thinks that it's only a matter of time
until this comes out clearly.  I hope I'm wrong.

No, that's fine.  I'm very interested in fairness, and you're right
that it's important that we not get into "witch hunt" mode.
