I certainly didn't mean it as an insult when I placed the Mother Eve post in the resource area about Ricky.

I spent many hours this weekend trying to put together as many reactions from different areas as I could. I made it a primary focus to grab as many news stories as I could. Posts from the various websites sort of took a back seat to the mainstream press articles that were popping up all over the place.

I wanted to put priority on posts from anyone who met him personally, which is why I've got Anneke, Sarafina in there at the moment. I thought the post from Jane Berg was significant, because of her past high position in the COG. I thought it should be documented.

Jane received an email this morning from a Family member who released a statement on his own personal website. I just documented that as well. It pretty much calls all of us murderers. I documented it, not because I agree with it, but because I think that kind of thing speaks for itself.

I'm trying to look down the line 2 or 3 years from now when memories start to fade. I would like to try to make that section an accurate representation of what is being said right now. I especially want a record of what mainstream journalists and media outlets were interested enough to write a story about this.
