Update: b1-66er has admonished me that my reference to the Moonwalk conspiracy theorists is not in the least bit funny and instead provides a platform for lies and superstitions that do no one any good. given his great kindness to me in my recent hour of need I have struck out the reference. ignore it. it perpetuates lies and superstition that do no one any good.
