I‘ve not related to something this much in a long time. I‘ve been treated as a traitor for this so often all over my life. I can’t believe that someone actually has a theory about this that is not esoteric in some way.

Thanks for sharing this!

I’ve never read this before, but I have seen unsourced quotes and talked to people that present it as established fact.

It’s been a good experience to read the original.

You‘re very welcome. I‘m always trying to share stuff if I find it useful in case someone else does as well. :)
