Okay, my 5 cents.

If Kathy Jo is victimised in any way, she will get the help that she needs. If
she is not, then shame on us for spending so much time and effort going around
in circles trying to help, when no help was needed at all.

I am concerned that we are all jumping to the aid of someone whose stories
change from day to day, from week to week, from month to month.

Time to come clean, Kathy Jo. Once and for all. We're not stupid people.
Gullible, perhaps, because we were actually trying to offer sound advice to
someone who claimed to be in distress.

I've been on this list for some time, albeit not as active as many of you. But
I'm neither blind or stupid. I remember many of the threads and many of the
inconsistencies. Something smells here!

Is it possible the jig is up?

Off to take a shower!

Cheers!
