Skullduggery., fraud, theft and dishonesty. The saga of some (well 1000s ) of ancient docs. If you can cope with presenter Ben Lewis much to be amazed at. Star turn Roberta Mazza, formerly of Manchester Uni. Must look up her book.

Why do so many get so angry online? I think because we believe we are right and no one or too few are listening or agreeing with us.
