I do not think they have thought through what they are suggesting, but we can leave that till later
JP, do I take it that you are including me in this quote? I assure you that I have thought it through most carefully and, as I pointed out in my earlier post, I am suggesting that this is a possibilty, rather than trying to claim that it is what happened.
Dalek makes some good points.
As a result of my post, I have now received a very interesting PM, implicating a couple of individuals, which I shall pursue with selected others. For the moment, as I'm sure you will understand, this will not be shared on Pprune. I would still prefer to avoid the term 'Conspiracy Theory', simply because of the perceived connection with anorak-clad little-green-men-believers. Perhaps a fellow Ppruner could suggest an alternative term?
