it often bugs me on threads that some answers are given that it could be a or b or c (quite correctly)

someone then picks (randomly?) c and somehow without any other confirmation that it is the right one facts seem to appear to try to make it fit. (so many that everyone scanning through thinks that was the original query person) It then becomes the 'right' one without any actual proof that it is and the other 2 are ignored.

Problem is, I don't think she should get the cert., at least not yet. I am amazed that she thinks this John Clark is hers - he might be obviously, but it's such a common name (as I keep repeating, she must be sick of hearing it!).
Not known for my patience, but thanks!

I've been replying on the thread below but could do with someone else to have a look - I think this person is at risk of heading down a blind alley but maybe it's just me:
