Whilst appreciating the 'funny side' of this, there's another
side which ain't remotely amusing.

We are all prey for malicious 'sincerity' and no matter how
credible it may seem, it's, regrettably, always sensible to have
reservations about any witness testimony.

Trusteth no-one...

I don't know Max Burns at all. I do know that I empathise with
the situation he faced and appreciate the dilemma in determining
what is a reliable witness account. Especially when the witness
is so 'sincere'. Or should that be deceitful.

Today Max Burns, maybe your turn tomorrow.


Publishing Max's private e-mail transcends distasteful to become
reprehensible and there's no entitlement to any kudos in that
respect.

Incidentally, I note that Max did express his reservations about
the information given.


The danger is encouraging such amateur 'hoaxers' and giving the
impression that elementary deception supports their condescending
self acclimation.

Anyone can be dishonest. Maybe it just takes a bit more courage
to say 'I'm a liar and this is my name'.


As Tim Matthews said re another UK 'hoax':

'What has the world come to when people are prepared to go to
such extraordinary lengths to try and mislead researchers?'
